JUST DESSERTS

Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a juried exhibition for the month of December featuring works in response to an open call to the public: JUST DESSERTS

Humans love sugar, and therefore, like everything else we love, we idolize it, fetishize it, celebrate it, and adoringly immortalize it in art. This call asked artists to call to our lust, our fondness, our sweet tooth for dessert.

Of course we are reminded of Wayne Thiebaud’s iconic elegies to the pastries he was denied in his youth, but don’t forget that frosting can be weaponized as a reminder of cultural disparity such as in the works of Yvette Mayorga.

However dessert inspires you, we asked artists to submit works that address this passionate affair. All mediums were considered.
