FoodCon 10

In 2010, the Harrison Center partnered with the Cultural Development Commission, Butler University’s Center for Urban Ecology, and Indiana Humanities to create the first FoodCon, an unconventional convention celebrating the art and culture of food in Indiana. Local businesses and foodie neighbors manned booths and shared information with attendees on subjects ranging from hydroponics to raising goats and chickens. 

This year’s FoodCon on August 4th will feature honey bee education, aquaponic gardening, urban foraging, cooking on car engines, porch parties, solar cooking, and more!  Don’t miss out on vendors such as The Seed Library from the Indianapolis Public Library and fresh produce from Felege Hiywot Center. And, of course, some of our favorite food trucks, including Black Vegan and Garnacha Spot LLC.

The community is invited to learn how to care for the environment, create foods inventively, and become equipped to share their new foodie findings with their family and friends.

In addition, our monthly First Friday event will occur alongside FoodCon. This year, we will offer art and wine pairings to deepen both your art and taste palettes for art by exhibiting artists Johnson Simon. Benaiah Cusack and Kenny Mason. Becca Ito will celebrate food and hospitality. Nina Grauley will feature illustrations of native plants. Check out all eight galleries, tour artist studios, buy local art, and enjoy surprising new activities.

With support from: Citizens Energy, Arts Council of Indianapolis, City of Indianapolis, Indiana Arts Commission, Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, and Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation.
