WHAT A GREAT PROJECT! Friend of PCI, Lindsay Curren, is doing something really, really special here. Urban agriculture has been featured in documentaries and books, helping to get the word out to fans of local food. But still, growing serious amounts of food inside cities remains a new idea to most folks. Fortunately, theres another way to share the city farming story: ART. Thats why Im doing 31 Days of Urban Agriculture, a show designed to be accessible, educational, and mobile — have art, will travel. Combining my lifelong love of poster design — or to use the old school word, broadsides — with typography and images, Im designing, cutting, and printing 31 original art pieces to tell the story of urban agriculture in a simple, accessible way. Really, its a story of beauty and the beast. First, there are the beauties — from bees and apple trees on Main Streets to farmers markets right downtown, and even DIY screens made of hops vines on the balconies of home brewers. And then there are the beasts, especially the danger of neighborhood food deserts and food insecurity that so many urban families face in todays economy. Read more and SUPPORT her effort below!
