To nourish is to provide the food that is necessary for growth and health. It also means to listen, care and support one another. Virginia MOCA will debut newly created artworks in the "Nourish" exhibition, which opens Feb. 11. The museum commissioned 12 artists and partnered them with people in local food-connected industries or organizations including farmers, chefs, nutritionists, food justice and anti-hunger advocates. They provided a unique insight into the food culture of our region and were the inspiration for the commissioned work on view. The exhibition and related educational programming encourage people to forge new connections with each other and to gain a greater understanding of the challenges of filling our plates.
