The event, which one organizer called “one of the biggest and best holiday extravaganzas the NACC has ever experienced,” will allow the public to step inside many of the artist studios at the facility and participate in some holiday festivities, as well.

Actually, it has several — Lewiston could be counted as one — and crucibles of art can be found all over the county. We found five remarkable places, large and small and none named Kenan or Castellani, wherein artists in any medium can find space, supplies, solace, instruction, opportunities to present, the company of peers and a place to work. All are thriving enterprises with that enthusiasm and optimism only perceptible these days with successfully-run arts management, and each has its own spin on bringing the practice of art to the masses.

Streicher, who works with inflatables, created a large and literal interpretation of the story that finds a man turn into a bug. The main showpiece of the installation finds inspiration from that physical transformation.

There’s Wegmans, Emeril on television, backyard tomatoes, a good glass of wine, McDonalds. Baby food, Snickers and fried zucchini. The perfectly-set dinner table and the compost heap. By definition, it’s a universal topic. Enter the artists whose work appears in “Feasting Eyes: Artists Take on Food,” an exhibit beginning today at the Kenan Center in Lockport.
