Art inspired by the Lower East Side is coming to Whole Foods.
The grocery chain's Bowery location will open a pop-up gallery in September, offering an exhibit of neighborhood-centric pieces, said Natalie Raben, spokeswoman for the Lower East Side Business Improvement District, which is co-hosting the show.
Whole Foods and the BID are asking artists to submit drawings, paintings and photos for the show, which will be hung on the second-floor mezzanine. A panel of BID and Whole Foods representatives, as well as community group like Fourth Arts Block, will choose five winners whose work will be on display for a month.
