Savor the Art of Food: Create, Inspire, and Exhibit

Exhibizone delightfully presents Food Canvas - 2025, a juried exhibition, promotion, and sales opportunity that invites you to explore the rich and vibrant world of food through your art.

Imagine the aroma of freshly baked bread, the vibrant colors of a summer market, the comforting warmth of a shared meal, the soothing richness of a steaming bowl of winter soup on a chilly evening, or the invigorating scent of morning coffee—the essential ritual that so many of us need to start our day. Food is more than just what we eat—it’s a language, a memory, a connection to those we love and the cultures we cherish.

At Food Canvas - 2025, we’re inviting you to capture these moments, to tell your story, and to share your passion for food through your art. This competition is not just about showcasing your talent—it’s about celebrating the joy, nostalgia, and beauty that food brings into our lives. We want to see how you, as an artist, can transform something as universal as food into a powerful, emotional work of art that resonates with people from all walks of life.

There are countless ways to showcase your Food Canvas—here are just a few options to make your mark:

The Art of Presentation: Food is an art form in itself. Show us how you can elevate a simple dish into a visual masterpiece, where every detail tells a story.

Cultural Cuisines: Bring to life the rich traditions and flavors from around the world. Whether it’s the spices of a distant land or a beloved family recipe, share the cultural stories that make food so special.

Food Memories: Food is tied to our most cherished memories. Capture those moments of joy, comfort, or nostalgia that a favorite dish brings to mind.

Farm to Table: There’s a natural beauty in the journey from field to plate. Celebrate the simplicity and organic charm of fresh ingredients, and the stories of those who cultivate them.

Necessary Foods: Highlight the foods that have become essential to our daily routines—like that first cup of morning coffee, a must-have for so many to kickstart the day with energy and focus.

Varieties of Food: Explore the diverse types of food that shape our lives—fast food, dietary food, dried food, street food, gourmet dishes, and more. Show us how these different categories of food influence our lifestyles, habits, and health.

Abstract Edibles: Push the boundaries of your creativity. Let food inspire you to explore abstract forms and colors, inviting viewers to see the familiar in a whole new light.

Food and Emotion: Food has the power to evoke deep emotions—happiness, longing, love. Use your art to express these feelings and create a connection with your audience.

Why submit to Food Canvas - 2025? 

Because this is more than just an art competition—it’s a chance to be part of a community that celebrates the universal language of food. It’s an opportunity to showcase your work in a prestigious exhibition, gain international exposure, and connect with art lovers who will appreciate the passion behind your creations.

Let’s create something truly meaningful together. Let your art tell the stories that words cannot, and share with us how you see food not just as sustenance, but as an experience, a memory, a work of art in itself.

All abstract and representational art in any medium is welcome.

Submission is free of charge and a small fixed fee applies to selected artists only. 

All payments are protected by money-back guarantee until the official opening of the exhibition.
