Share My Meals, a nonprofit organization that addresses food insecurity and food waste, is organizing a public art exhibition and sale by Carole Jury, an international artist. The event will showcase her pieces of art, from Wednesday through Saturday, November 12 through 15, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at MarketFair.
Thirty-five percent of the proceeds of the sale will benefit Share My Meals.
In her “Second Life” Series, Jury, a French-born abstract painter and former longtime Princeton resident, brings to life a collection of objects, transforming them into fresh creations imbued with meaning.
For years, Jury, who now lives in Houston, has held onto old paint tubes, canvases and fabrics, which carry traces of past creative journeys. She has recycled the objects into the foundation of her artwork.
Share My Meals holds a special place in the artist’s heart. “The story of Share My Meals is truly inspiring,” she said. “My journey with them began with designing their logo, and a year later, in 2021, we collaborated to organize my first solo show with an art exhibition in Princeton.”
Jury has exhibited her work in major art fairs and galleries around the world, such as Volta Basel, Context Art Miami, Scope Miami, AAF New York – Singapore – Boston – Austin – London, Art Market San Francisco; Mango Art Festival in Bangkok; Art World Dubai; and Salon International in Hyeres, France.
“We are so grateful to collaborate once again with such a fabulous artist,” said Hélène Lanctuit, CEO of Share My Meals. “Carole’s extraordinary talent and generosity help shine a light on both her remarkable art and the vital work our organization does every day to fight food insecurity and reduce food waste. This partnership truly embodies the spirit of community and creativity that fuels our mission.”
