Creative Artists Plates Fundraising Event

Martha’s Vineyard, MA - Foodies and art-lovers alike will converge at the “Creative Artists Plates” event at State Road Restaurant on Wednesday.   The combination dinner and art show, co-presented by State Road and Whatever the Outcome, will benefit the Island Grown Initiative.  Whatever the Outcome, an art project launched last summer, involves a work of art which gets divided into pieces, and then reassembled by the public. Traditionally, the artwork has taken the form of magnetic puzzle pieces painted by one artist. The March 26 installation of the series will include work by 13 artists. According to Whatever the Outcome curator Craig Miner, Randi Baird has taken an enormous photograph of a dinner table, set with everything but six plates. The plates will be decorated in teams by the other 12 artists involved.  The “dinner table” will be assembled by guests at the event, while drinks and hors d’oeuvres are served. A family style dinner will follow.  www.fundraising-ideas.org
