A pilot program ignited by local food policy and research to support food systems via culture sharing and the arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative launched in 2021 in Lawrence, Kansas, with 5 culture-specific food retailers and in 2023 expanded to Garden City. Participating markets are paired with artists to create public artwork at each retailer location. This program highlights foodways through cooking demonstrations using ingredients found at these retailers and celebrates the markets as cultural hubs for their communities. With the support of the Kansas Healthy Food Initiative, retail owners are provided with economic development training and marketing assistance to strengthen food systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
