Good Taste: A Dialogue Between Couture and Confection at SLCC’s South City Campus (1575 S. State St., Salt Lake City)
"Good Taste" is a unique exhibition that
joins fashion design and culinary arts. The event is presented by Salt Lake Community College faculty and students and SLCC alumnus Michael Ryan Andolsek. For the exhibition, SLCC
culinary alumni were paired with current SLCC fashion students to create cakes
based on the students’ original fashion designs. The exhibition will showcase
both the students’ designs as well as photographs of the cakes created by SLCC’s
culinary graduates.
Michael Ryan Andolsek explains a design to SLCC President Deneece G. Huftalin, who is wearing one of his creations.
The
idea for the “Good Taste” exhibit originated from a past collaboration between
Andolsek and the international group Sugar Art for Autism, which created 53 cakes
inspired by Andolsek’s clothing designs. Andolsek, who is autistic, originally
worked with Sugar Art for Autism in April 2019 as part of the group’s annual
awareness campaign.
“Good
Taste: A Dialogue between Couture & Confection” will be on display
from Dec. 18 to Jan. 31 in the George S.
& Dolores Doré Eccles Art Gallery at
the SLCC South City Campus.
