OPAL’s Last exhibition of 2025 is an OPEN CALL for food themed artworks in all media!
From the still lives of the Renaissance and Dutch Golden age to the soft sculptures of Claus Oldenburg, or the lush impasto of Wayne Theibaud, food is everywhere in art! Food is sustenance, it brings us together around a table, it can bring joy or anxiety, it can be factory-farmed or farm-to-table.
A weekend-long holiday market Pop-up at the Oak Park Art League and will feature local makers selling their creations in our gallery on
Saturday Dec 13 from 10am - 4pm and Sunday Dec 14 from 1-4pm.
Please submit this form to be considered for the market.
Submissions will be reviewed for acceptance.
