Nov 30, 1999 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Please join us at the South Street Gallery in Greenport for a beautiful art exhibit, reception, and cookbook signing!
Artist Jeanne Betancourt will show her beautiful oil paintings on canvas, which illustrate "Farm Stand Fresh," a cookbook written by Manuela Soares.
"A farmstand overflowing with colorful vegetables, fruits, and herbs is a common sight along country lanes and at city farmers' markets." From the first asparagus of spring to the apples and pumpkins you buy on a chilly fall day, the paintings in this show and the recipes in the "Farm Stand Fresh" cookbook were inspired by that bounty.
The Peconic Land Trust is thrilled to be the beneficiary of a portion of all art and book sales from the exhibit, on display through June 30. Come meet the artist and author, purchase your book and have it signed!
For more information about the South Street Gallery, please visit South Street Gallery or call 631.477.0021.
