\n<\/strong>The International Museum of Dinnerware Design\u2019s Sixth Biennial Juried Exhibition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Picnic<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Think of all the ways we come together to dine. We have wedding receptions and wedding dinners.  We meet at the diner for breakfast. We have birthday parties with cake and candles. We celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends stuffing ourselves with turkey and Tofurkey and side dishes. We meet at the corner bar to have a drink after work. We welcome the New Year with hors d’oeuvres and raise a cocktail glass at midnight.<\/p>\n

Only one dining experience may be universally remembered and loved by all. That is when intentionally we leave the home or the office, pack some sandwiches or cold chicken, plates and napkins, and head outdoors to a park, riverside, beach or cemetery for a PICNIC.<\/p>\n

If you are overwhelmed by your workload, then grab the picnic basket and your favorite person and head for the shore. Plan an elaborate picnic with chilled wine (don\u2019t forget the corkscrew!) and a baguette with fresh strawberries, and escape to a secluded woods for an hour or two of respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. <\/p>\n

While you are in this exhilarating mind frame and landscape, the artsy you may conjure up a creation in any media that references the picnic experience shared by so many.  We invite you to submit that artwork to the International Museum of Dinnerware Design\u2019s 6th<\/sup> Biennial Invitational and Juried Exhibition with the theme Picnic. <\/em>Please carefully read the \u201cCall for Entries.\u201d There is an entry fee.
