FOOD
Crispy Cereal Treats
(re-thought)


These traditional "MOM" treats were sold this year 
in the food court of the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. 
Interestingly they made the treats using various types of cereal: 
Captain Crunch; Fruit Loops; Coco Puffs; Rice Krispies; etc. 
and some had candy sprinkled on top. Invent your own!

Kellogg's original recipe for Rice Krispies Treats:

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

4 cups of miniature marshmallows
or 1 Package (10 oz.- about 40) regular marshmallows 

6 cups Kellogg's Rice Krispies © cereal

Directions

1 in a large saucepan melt butter over low heat.

Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.

Remove from heat.

2. Add Cerial. Stir until well-coated.

3. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, 

evenly press mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan 

coated with cooking spray or buttered. 

4. Cool & Cut into 2 inch squares.

Best if served the same day.

The Joan Mitchell Foundation 

Established in 1993, the Joan Mitchell Foundation celebrates the legacy of Joan Mitchell and expands her vision to support the aspirations and development of diverse contemporary visual artists. They work to broaden the recognition of artists and their essential contributions to communities and society. They focus on two objectives: First, the study, preservation, and exhibition of the work of Joan Mitchell, as well as the examination and documentation of her life. Second, they assist in the development, growth, and continued maturation of contemporary visual artists by providing support for painters and sculptors throughout all stages of their careers.

To meet the needs of visual artists, the Foundation has developed several programs. These include direct awards to painters and sculptors, support for the documentation of the work of older artists to ensure the preservation of their individual legacies, a comprehensive program of free art education for New York City youth through after school, Saturday, and summer classes, and emergency funding to individual artists and arts communities in need of support after a disaster. In addition to these programs the Foundation is establishing an artists residency in the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans. Complementary programs will be developed in collaboration with local arts organizations that will allow the Foundation to expand its support for the New Orleans visual arts community.

As part of its ongoing partnership with other arts organizations, the Foundation supports a multitude of services for artists, such as: professional development programming, documentation of work, exhibitions, and residencies. The 2012 MFA Exhibition at the CUE Art Foundation is one example of a collaborative project the Joan Mitchell Foundation is a part of, others can be found on their website: joanmitchellfoundation.org .

This current exhibition is up until July 28, 2012.
