Phoenix Youth Theatre Food and Drink Art Trail
5th to 31st October

I read some articles on the Pheonix Youth Theatre and was impressed. They will have artwork from Phoenix Youth Theatre students and it will be on display at several locations throughout the Festival and up until 31st October. The artwork, a mixture of paintings and other forms of art, represent an interpretation of how the students see food and the different cultures associated with it.

Cappuccinos
Tiffany's on the Square
