What is ‘Palette x Palate’?
A Food-Inspired Art Exhibition Coinciding with the Waterford Festival of Food Dungarvan, Ireland.
‘Palette x Palate’ is The Old Bank international open call, curated by Artist Luana Asiata for all artists.

The group show is to coincide with the increasingly popular Waterford Festival of Food in Dungarvan 25-27 April 2025. The exhibition will be open to the public from 19 April to 2 June 2025.

The art exhibition will occupy three rooms, the fine dining area upstairs, the cocktail bar and bistro areas downstairs. The food festival attracts a huge number of visitors from all parts of Ireland so the town will be buzzing with energy and the art exhibition will be well attended.

Open Call for Artists
Artists are invited to submit works that explore art, food, and the land—whether through traditional still-life compositions, abstract landscapes, or conceptual explorations of food’s role in culture. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to showcase work in the historic Old Bank, Dungarvan, a stunning venue that merges heritage with creativity.

Theme
Food tells a story—of heritage, of connection, of indulgence. This exhibition portrays the journey food makes from the soil to our tables, to palette. 

This could be anything from a classic still-life painting of fruit to a beautifully composed scene of your kitchen, utensils, or bowls.Show us photographs capturing the joy of shared meals, drawings of landscapes that nourish us, close-up shots of fresh produce, or depictions of farm animals that connect us to the land. Whether it’s a personal memory, a cultural tradition, or a creative exploration of food’s role in our lives, we invite you to bring your vision to the table.

All art works are sold in The Old Bank Dungarvan directly to the collector.

Submissions close at midnight on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
