The annual Eat Your Art Out event sponsored by the Arlington Museum of Art held last month in their new expansive facility in the city’s old convention center was a big success.
This photo is just one example of the many delicious presentations prepared by local bakeries and restaurants.
However, it’s really one of a kind since it is the product of the Dan Dipert Career and Technical Center’s Cake Club.
Everything seen on their display table is eatable! Including the big blue locker room that is actually a cake.
Pictured, left to right, are AISD students Isa Villarreal of Martin High School, Bridget Hardy from Lamar, Iris Cheng of Martin High, and Anthony Caddell-Adams from Arlington High. Seated is Cake Club Chef Greg Almendarez.
On the walls behind them are examples of the hundreds of art works displays from Arlington ISD school children presented by the Museum as Youth Art Month 2024.
Attendees at the occasion also got to see the AMA grand opening exhibit Pompeii: The Immortal City that will be at the Museum until June 23.
Here’s how that experience is described: “Through a world-class multi-media experience, journey back in time with the AMA to Rome just before, during and after the fateful eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. Hear and feel the roar of the volcano erupting while you take in the wonder of original artworks and newly-discovered artifacts.”
Details of hours and admission can be found at the AMA website arlingtonmuseum.org. Don’t miss the opportunity to fully discover this remarkable, immersive experience.
