Chocolate and art

Do you love chocolate? Are you an artist? Here’s your chance to blend the two loves, and maybe win $100 in art supplies.

The Chocolate Bar, organizer of the Bucks County Chocolate Show, is sponsoring its third annual art contest for “The Journey of the Pod,” an artistic representation of chocolate’s journey in images from the past to the present. The contest asks artists to connect communities with this rich story through multimedia.

The Chocolate Bar was founded in 2004 by Gretchen Tartakoff to organize and promote “The Journey of The Pod” Art Contest and the The World of Chocolate, Bucks County Chocolate Show. Both components connect communities on many levels, supporting commerce and appreciation for sustainable best practices in the world of chocolate. The show brings together trendsetters in the chocolate industry with a multimedia educational exhibit about the issues impacting the people who provide us with chocolate.
