Art in the Age Presents: Nix Besser by Michael Alan
Art in the Age is pleased to announce our September exhibition, NIX BESSER, the rich Pennsylvania Dutch history and traditions that inspired SNAP, brought to life through the creations of Michael Alan.
Michael Alan is the exclusive illustrator behind the Art in the Age SNAP artwork, and is also an accomplished baker and mixologist. The Reverend collaborates frequently with Philadelphia’s Wild Flour Bakery, and almost always has something delicious in the works. He has been hard at work creating new recipes inspired by AITA SNAP, and his latest, “The Good Reverend’s Ginger Snap Cookies” and “Haymaker’s Punch” are already huge hits.
With Art in the Age, The Reverend Michael Alan will bring the rich history of SNAP to life through his wonderful illustrations and folk art crafts. Inspired by the traditional Pennsylvania Dutch roots of SNAP, The Reverend will work with AITA to recreate a traditional country kitchen that harkens back to a much simpler time.
Included within the exhibition will be illustrations of heirloom cookie recipes that have been collected by Reverend Michael Alan from friends and family. The drawings are an homage to yesteryear, and investigate how cherished recipes and the tradition of baking can bridge the past with the present.
Join us this Friday, September 3rd, from 6-8PM for the opening reception.
Cookie samplings of each illustrated recipe and AITA refreshments will be served.
The Art in the Age store located at 116 North 3rd Street.
