Tomato Art

The "Tomato Art Fest" takes place in East Nashville in August annually. It's a weekend-long celebration of tomatoes and all of the wonderful things they make, including Bloody Marys. I participated by submitting artwork for the gallery showing in 2021 and 2022. The main requirements for submission are that a tomato must be featured in at least one piece, and every other piece must feature some type of fruit or vegetable. "Self-Indulgent Saturday" won Best Use of Humor in 2021. I don't really understand why there's an entire festival dedicated to tomatoes, but it's weird, amazing, and fun, and I love it. 🍅
