ARTS FOR MOREprojects | FOOD FOR THOUGHTdrops

FOOD FOR THOUGHTdrops is a collaborative series of digital re-releases of individual music tracks from the original Menus and Music and Music Cooks line of products from Menus and Music. These releases, along with the work of featured visual artists will be repurposed to benefit the parts of the food industry which are most negatively affected by the current pandemic and economic crises. They will include videos/slideshows of the visual artists' work (with all necessary links and information), some visual content from the original products, along with a variety of art and other merchandise.

A SAMPLE FOOD FOR THOUGHTdrops PROJECT

These ARTS FOR MOREprojects collaborations will be part of the ARTS FOR MORE launch, reflecting our art for more than art’s sake mission by benefiting non-profit organizations doing extremely important work. A “demo” version of the sample project depicted below will be available for viewing.

ARTS FOR MORE and Menus and Music present You Can Get It If You Really Want, a FOOD FOR THOUGHTdrops multi-media re-release from the Pleasures of the Caribbean product, with the work of painter Tim Bulkley, and the photography of Peter Barshay. This release will support the work of a small local NPO and World Central Kitchen.

Great music and visual arts creations. Great causes.

A great way to essentialize the arts!
