Over lunch with all ingredients sourced from Trader Joe's, meet author Julie Averbach for a presentation and Q&A about her recently published book, The Art of Trader Joe's: Discovering The Hidden Art Gems of America's Favorite Grocery Store (2024). Averbach illuminates how to view the grocery store as an art gallery. Hidden in plain sight, artwork animates everything from the brown paper grocery bags to eye-catching murals, and handmade signs. Many of the images at Trader Joe’s have histories stretching back centuries or are parodies of classic works ranging from Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa to Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night. Explore Trader Joe’s product packaging, from the ancient Roman sculpture posing on Caesar Salad to the famous hot air balloon on Bamba Peanut Snacks. Discover how graphic designers have remixed nineteenth century cartoons in the Fearless Flyer newsletter.
Books will be available for sale and signing.
