The UC Irvine virtual International Food and Art festival is designed to increase international awareness and foster cross-cultural understanding across the UCI community through photos and videos of food and art. Check out the gallery and sign up for our events as well!
We invite UCI students, staff, and faculty as well as local businesses to submit photos and/or videos of cuisine (e.g. popular dishes, holiday treats, comfort food, etc.), cultural art forms (e.g. dances, rituals, conventions, etc.) or traditional items (e.g. fashion, musical instruments, things around the house, etc.) to showcase a piece of their culture.
Submissions are currently being accepted through November 30 and will be posted in our public Gallery now through December 18, 2020.
This event is sponsored by the UCI Study Abroad Center and UCI Office of Global Engagement and is part of the International Education Week (November 16-20, 2020).
