The Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) in Brooklyn, New York, is an educational nonprofit and interactive museum dedicated to exploring how food and beverages shape—and are shaped by—culture, politics, history, science, and economics. Founded by chef and food-science innovator Dave Arnold and guided by founding director Peter J. Kim, MOFAD brings “food as culture” to life through multi-sensory, participatory exhibits where visitors can taste, touch, smell, and interact. Past shows have explored Chinese-American restaurant history, Black American culinary traditions, and the science of flavor, and in 2024 MOFAD opened its new DUMBO location with the immersive exhibit Flavor: The World to Your Brain.

The Songshan Lake Boxes Art Museum is a contemporary art museum in Dongguan operated by the Planning Group of the Oil Painting Department at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (GAFA). It serves as a public cultural hub—hosting exhibitions, educational programs, and community-oriented artistic events.

The Vero Stoppioni Gallery of Contemporary Art in Santa Sofia was inaugurated in 1990, growing out of the long tradition of the Campigna Prize, an art event founded in 1955 by the Municipality of Santa Sofia thanks to the commitment of teacher Vero Stoppioni, to whom the gallery is dedicated. Housed in an early 20th-century building, the gallery aims to connect contemporary art, experimentation, and the local territory, and it preserves works collected over the many editions of the Prize.

The collection, initially curated by Fabio Cavallucci and today by Veruska Eneidi, includes paintings and sculptures by prominent Italian and international artists from the post-war period to the present. Among them are Mattia Moreni—who holds a special place in the gallery—Pompilio Mandelli, Fabrizio Plessi, Francesco Somaini, Giovanni Korompay, Alberto Sughi, and Eugène Berman, along with many Romagna-based artists who highlight the richness of the regional art scene.

A distinctive feature of the gallery is its strong relationship with the surrounding landscape: the Campigna Prize also gave rise to an open-air sculpture park that stretches along the Bidente river valley from Santa Sofia to Capaccio, featuring environmental artworks as metaphors of the relationship between humanity and nature.

Today, the gallery continues to host temporary exhibitions, monographic shows, and tributes to significant figures of the 20th century, weaving contemporary art into the cultural fabric of the area and establishing Santa Sofia as a reference point for those interested in the development of modern and contemporary art in Italy.
