Ardmore Excellence Fund News

June 2008

The Ardmore Excellence Fund has achieved yet another milestone – The Food Project.

Representatives have been chosen to run the daily food project, by placing weekly orders of various fresh vegetables, meats, starches and refreshments from the local store.

Each artist makes a cup of hot coffee to begin their day and are then welcomed with a hot cooked meal at lunch time. Each studio has employed two cooks to prepare and cook the food and to then wash up on a daily basis. The artists have all made it super by having a communal lunch area where they all sit around chatting and enjoying their meals together.

Their favorite meal is a great juicy chicken or beef stew with lots of nourishing vegies and rice to round it off. They also love to make a healthy coleslaw salad and mixed salad on the warmer days.

The best part is when they surprise the office staff with a hearty plate of food. It is delicious!  

This has been the most rewarding project for all as the morale of the artists has been over whelming with everyone going home with full stomachs and a day of artwork well done!
