Food and Art – A Match Made in Heaven
23/02/2016Food and Art. It really is a match made in heaven. As part of our ongoing work to strengthen the region’s economy, we’re working with local food producers to expand local awareness of amazing produce. We’re also actively involved in organising the upcoming Food Innovation Forum, which will be held in Townsville on 2 and 3 March 2016.
Townsville Food & Art Fusion (2 March)
As part of the Forum, Sister City Partners and Umbrella are hosting Townsville Food & Art Fusion – an evening of local food matched with local beverages and much more. Matt Merrin from JAM and the good folk at A Touch of Salt have joined forces to create 6 tasty morsels, using local produce, for us to savour. The City is also hosting a large Japanese business delegation, who are inspecting regional agribusiness opportunities.
Townsville Food & Art Fusion will be held at:
5:30-7:30pm, Wednesday 2 March 2016
Cost: $75 (inclusive of booking fee) – all inclusive, food and drinks
