Founded in the spring of 2008, Wheat Toast is an animated archive of work created by emerging, dedicated artists from around the world. With an emphasis on the visual arts, our aim is to provide a glimpse into the evolving artistic vision of our members via an ever expanding collection.
Wheat Toast seeks work that is not purely retinal, but which also engages the mind, challenges what is possible, and provides a window into what is often the hidden world of artistic development. We present a diversity of working styles and mediums, and seek work from artists who are interested in the evolution of their process.
