>>> WE'RE BACK IN THE KITCHEN WITH ANOTHER ADDITION OF KATE'S QUICK BITES.

WE LEARN MORE ABOUT A LOCAL NONPROFIT GALLERY.

THE GALLERY ITSELF HAS BEEN IN MULTIPLE PHYSICAL LOCATIONS OVER THE YEARS, BUT HAS STAYED TRUE TO ITS SINGULAR MISSION OF SUPPORTING EMERGING ARTISTS.

LET'S FIND OUT MORE.

[ music ] >> WITH ME IN THE KITCHEN TODAY IS LYNNETTE, DIRECTOR OF THE ROY G. BIV GALLERY.

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> I'M SO EXCITE FOD HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR WORK AND TO GET STARTED MAKING SOMETHING.

TELL US ABOUT THE ROY G. BIV GALLERY.

>> WELL, WE STARTED IN 1989, A GROUP OF ARTISTS STARTED THE GALLERY WITH ARTISTS IN MIND.

EMERGES ARTISTS DIDN'T HAVE A SPACE TO SHOW THEIR WORK, SO THEY DECIDED TO PUT TOGETHER A GALLERY FOR THEIR FRIENDS, AND THEY ACTUALLY MADE BISCOTTI TO MAKE RENT.

>> STOP IT.

>> THAT IS A CHARMING WAY TO MAKE RENT.

>> I KNOW, YES.

>> WE SHOULD DO THAT.

>> WOW.

SPEAKING OF RECIPES, WHAT HAVE YOU CHOSEN TO MAKE WITH US TODAY?

>> THIS IS A WONDERFUL RECIPE FROM MY DEAR INA.

IT'S CURATING AND ASSEMBLING.

>> AND IT CONNECTS TO YOUR WORK.

>> ABSOLUTELY IT DOES.

>> THIS IS EASY TO DO, WONDERFUL IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS COME OVER OR A QUICK BITE IF YOU'RE SNACKING, WATCHING A MOVIE, SOME SUCH.

IT'S TOASTED BREAD WITH CHEESE ON IT.

GOAT CHEESE IF YOU HAVE IT.

MICROGREENS, FIG JAM OR PRESERVES, IF YOU CAN FIND IT, AND A SWEET BALSAMIC.

>> THAT SOUNDS LOVELY.

>> HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TODAY.

ONE LOAF COUNTRY BREAD.

ONE JAR OF FIG SPREAD.

EIGHT OUNCES OF PLAIN, CREAMY CHEESE.

WE'RE USING GOAT CHEESE.

MICROGREENS, AND SYRUPY BALSAMIC VINEGAR.

>> WHAT FIRST.

>> LET'S TOAST THE BREAD.

>> WHILE THE BREAD IS TOASTING, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN EMERGING ARTIST.

>> IT'S NOT AGE BUT RATHER EXPERIENCE.

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET BEEN REPRESENTED BY A GALLERY.

YOU ARE NOT CELEBRATED BY THE MEDIA.

YOU HAVEN'T HAD SOLO SHOWS BUT YOU HAVE A VISION AND A NARRATIVE YOU'RE WORKING ON.

WE WANT TO WORK WITH ARTISTS AT THAT STAGE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT.

>> AMAZING.

THAT IS A GREAT RESOURCE.

>> I THINK THAT IS UNIQUE HERE IN COLUMBUS.

THE GALLERY IS FOR EMERGING ARTISTS AND THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT OTHER GALLERIES OFFER.

WE ARE ALSO A NONPROFIT.

THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

WHEN ARTISTS ARE EXITING AT ROY, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT IF THEY SELL WORK.

THE OBJECTIVE IS FOR THEM TO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF HAVING WORK IN THE SPACE.

>> IT SMELLS LIKE THE BREAD MIGHT BE TOASTED.

I WILL GIVE IT A CHECK.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> YOU WANT THIS CRUNCHY SO IT HAS TEXTURE.

>> WE DID IT IN THE OVEN.

YOU CAN DO IT IN THE TOASTER.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WHAT IS NEXT?

>> FIRST WE PUT ON THE FIG SPREAD.

>> I WILL HOLD THIS.

YOU CAN SPREAD.

WE WILL DO TEAM WORK.

I WILL MAKE YOU WORK AND TALK TO ME.

>> OKAY.

GO AHEAD.

>> TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT KIND OF ART PEOPLE CAN EXPECT TO SEE AT ROY G. BIV?

>> WELL, ROY IS A JOURNEY SPACE.

SO ARTISTS APPLY TO BE THERE, AND WE CONVENE A JOURNEY TO REVIEW THE APPLICATIONS AND A TEAM TO PUT THE EXHIBITIONS TOGETHER, AND BECAUSE WE'RE AN INCLUSIVE GALLERY, AND YOU WILL SEE A VARIETY OF TWO DIMENSIONAL WORK.

>> THE FIG PRESERVE IS ON.

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP.

>> WE HAVE CURATED ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS.

WE ARE GOING TO ASSEMBLE THINGS.

>> LOOK AT YOU BRINGING YOUR PROFESSIONAL WORK TO THE KITCHEN.

>> THE GOAT CHEESE ON TOP.

IT'S WONDERFUL BECAUSE WE LEFT IT OUT TO SOFTEN.

YOU CAN ALSO MICROWAVE IT IF YOU ARE IN A HURRY, DON'T HAVE TIME TO LEAVE IT OUT.

>> AND YOU WANT IT SPREADABLE.

>> AND INA SAYS PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE AND LEAVE EDGES FOR THE FIG.

>> SHE KNOWS THAT.

>> I AM FOLLOWING THAT RECIPE IF I CAN.

>> OKAY.

>> OKAY, GOOD.

THIS IS LIKE SPACKLING IN THE GALLERY.

>> LIKE THE EXHIBITIONS TOO.

>> YEAH, RIGHT.

MAKING YOU DO ALL THE WORK.

>> NO WORRIES.

>> SMELLS INCREDIBLE.

>> WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?

>> NEXT, A LITTLE SALT AND PEPPER.

>> WE COMBINED IT FOR YOU.

>> A LITTLE PINCH OF THAT, PUT IT ON.

AND IT HAS SUCH GREAT FLAVOR.

WE DON'T NEED TO OVERDO AT ALL.

>> LOVE IT.

A LITTLE BIT OF SEASONING.

AND OUR EXHIBITIONS AT ROY CHANGE EVERY MONTH.

WE DO AN ANNUAL CALL FOR END RIPS TO GET ARTISTS TO APPLY AND THEN WE SLATE OUR SHOWS FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR.

SO WE KNOW ANNUALLY WHO WILL BE IN THE GALLERY.

>> WONDERFUL.

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

A FEW MICROGREENS ON HERE.

>> CAN I JUST -- >> PLEASE DO.

>> JUST SPRINKLE ON TOP FOR A LITTLE GREEN FRESHNESS.

>> MM-HMM.

THIS IS THE HEALTHY PART OF THIS.

>> THE CHEESY BREAD -- >> THAT'S RIGHT, EXACTLY.

>> I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.

IT LOOKS SO PRETTY.

A LITTLE MORE ON THIS GUY.

OKAY.

>> OH, MY GOSH, IT LOOKS AMAZING.

>> RIGHT?

A FINAL GARNISH.

>> WE HAVE A LITTLE OF THE BALSAMIC WE ARE GOING TO -- >> THIS IS A THICKENED -- >> YEAH, THIS IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN SALAD DRESSING.

THIS IS THICKER.

>> DRIZZLE IT ON TOP.

IF YOU HAVE FRESH FIGS, YOU CAN PUT THAT ON TOP BUT THIS IS JUST AS GOOD WITHOUT.

>> YEAH.

>> THEY LOOK FANCY.

>> WE ARE GOING TO CUT THEM IN SMALLER SLICES.

>> OKAY.

>> AN ELEGANT BITE.

>> EXACTLY.

>> YOU JUST TOOK KNIFE TRAINING.

YOU CAN DO THAT.

>> I HOPE I CAN LIVE UP TO THIS.

>> LET'S SEE.

>> THESE LOOK BEAUTIFUL AND I CAN'T WAIT TO TASTE IT.

BEFORE WE DIG IN, TELL ME ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SURROUNDING THE GALLERY AND HOW YOU INTERACT WITH IT.

>> WELL, WE STARTED IN 1989 AND WE WERE IN THE SHORT NORTH FOR 30 YEARS AND MOVED TO FRANKLINTON, A WONDERFUL, EMERGING CREATIVE SPACE, WHAT IS PERFECT FOR ROY, AND FRANKLINTON IS LIKE AN ALL BOATS RIDE SITUATION, WHERE WE ARE COLLABORATING WITH EACH OTHER.

WE WORK ON COMMUNITY EVENTS TOGETHER, AND WE OPEN EXHIBITIONS TODAY.

FRANKLINTON FRIDAYS, THE SECOND FRIDAY OF THE MONTH.

SOMETIMES WE HAVE GROUP EXHIBITIONS OR SOME OF THE INTERNS MIGHT HAVE EXPERIENCES AT OTHER GALLERIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE ALSO SHARE RESOURCES AND BEST PRACTICES.

IT'S A REALLY WONDERFUL COMMUNITY.

>> AMAZING.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU AND RAY IN THE COMMUNITY WITH US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> AND GLAD TO HAVE YOU IN THE KITCHEN WITH ME.

SHOULD WE GIVE IT A TASTE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> LOVELY.

HMM.

>> RIGHT?

>> SO MANY FLAVORS.

>> YEP.

SWEET, SALTY, CREAMY.

VERY GOOD.

>> THE GREENS GIVE A FRESH PUNCH.

I LOVE IT.

DELICIOUS.

SO EASY.

THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU, INA.

>> HERE'S TO INA.
