The FOODseum at the Culinary Institute of the South is currently hosting an exhibit by Lowcountry artist Amiri Geuka Farris.
The exhibit, at the Technical College of the Lowcountry’s newest campus, features paintings and original works inspired by Lowcountry cuisine and Gullah culture.
A SCAD alumnus and foundation studies professor, Farris is a contemporary artist whose wide range of work encompasses painting, drawing, video, performance and installation. His work has been featured in more than 50 solo and juried exhibitions worldwide.
Farris lives and works in Bluffton and has collaborated with the Culinary Institute of the South at TCL on previous projects.
The exhibit runs through Dec. 9 and can be viewed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday. All pieces will be available for purchase. Proceeds will go toward educational programming at the culinary institute.
