Share My Meals, a nonprofit organization that addresses food insecurity and food waste, is organizing a public art exhibition and sale by Carole Jury, an international artist. The event will showcase her pieces of art from Wednesday, November 12 to Saturday, November 15 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at MarketFair in Princeton.

Thirty-five percent of the proceeds of the sale will benefit Share My Meals, which recovers and delivers nutritious prepared meals to local communities across New Jersey.

In her “Second Life” Series, Jury, a French-born abstract painter and former longtime Princeton resident, will bring to life a collection of objects, transforming them into fresh creations imbued with meaning.

For years, Jury, who now lives in Houston, has held onto old paint tubes, canvases and fabrics, which carry traces of past creative journeys. She has recycled the objects into the foundation of her artwork.

Share My Meals holds a special place in Carole Jury’s heart. “The story of Share My Meals is truly inspiring,” she said. “My journey with them began with designing their logo, and a year later, in 2021, we collaborated to organize my first solo show with an art exhibition in Princeton.”

Jury has exhibited her work in major art fairs and galleries around the world.

“We are so grateful to collaborate once again with such a fabulous artist,” said Hélène Lanctuit, CEO of Share My Meals. “Carole’s extraordinary talent and generosity help shine a light on both her remarkable art and the vital work our organization does every day to fight food insecurity and reduce food waste. This partnership truly embodies the spirit of community and creativity that fuels our mission.”

Founded in January 2020, Share My Meals, based in Princeton and active across New Jersey, is dedicated to addressing food insecurity and the environmental impact of food waste by safely recovering and delivering nutritious prepared meals to local communities.
