ADZE Gallery, in Goodramgate, York, is to hold a series of exhibitions to tie in with the York Festival of Food And Drink.

On view from this weekend to September 23 will be Tickle Your Palette, paintings by Ken Jones and Lesley Coates-Jones, plus Travels With My Stomach, photographs by Paul Harris.

To link in with this show, Hollingsworth of York will present a Tutored Wine Tasting at Adze Gallery on September 22 from 7.30pm to 9pm. Tickets, costing £5, are limited to 20 and can be booked from organiser Dee Bray-Calvert on 01904 674348.

"You can enjoy fine wines from around the world while savouring a visual feast of exotic, food-related photographs and scrumptious oil on canvas still-life paintings," says Dee.

The autumn exhibition, Feast Your Eyes, will run from September 24 to November 11, featuring not food and drink but contemporary British landscapes by David Greenwood, John McClenaghen and York artist Mike Maynard.

The exhibition preview will take place from noon to 4pm on Sunday, September 24, with refreshments being provided free by sponsors Coffee Espress, of Goodramgate.

Exhibition workshops will be held on September 25, 27 and 30. Led by professional artists, they offer the chance to work on location and have the resulting artwork exhibited in the gallery. The cost per session is £30 for individual tuition or £15 a session for larger groups.

Artist-in-residence Kelly McCarthy will be in the gallery for an art demonstration from noon to 4pm on September 30, when she will sketch "you and your guests in her inimitable no-punches-pulled style". The fee is to be arranged.

Artists exhibiting in Feast Your Eyes will talk about their work over a Food and Fine Art Connoisseurs' Finger Buffet Luncheon from 12.30pm to 2.30pm on October 1, the last day of the York Festival of Food And Drink. Luncheon places are limited to ten and the price is yet to be confirmed.
