The Food Show

January 2026

VALISE kicks off 2026 with its seventeenth year of presenting a rejuvenating new show every month in the heart of downtown Vashon.

If you are what you eat then feast your eyes on The Food Show, featuring art about preparing, serving, eating, talking about and looking at food from all angles. Abandon your diet and join us!

The show is a fund raiser for our local Food Bank. Visitors throughout the month are encouraged to drop-off canned goods or express their support with cash donations. Thank you for helping our neighbors.

Collective members have collaborated on a surreal sculptural installation--the Purple Camel Cafe-- that will tickle your appetite and your funny bone. There will also be painting and mixed media covering the walls. A visual cornucopia of wackiness and whimsy will usher in the new year.

The First Friday Opening is 6-9 on January 9th. Soft opening is 1-6. Gallery hours are 1-6 Friday/Saturday. Show closes January 31st.
