Celebrating Sustainable Slow Food
Mon, 02/01/2010 - 21:44 — ccadmin
As part of King Middle School's after school program, City Canvas is teaching a class in which students will explore organic food, the slow food movement, and food justice issues in the context of creating art. Each session of this hands-on art class will involve creating related art.
Slow Food Project in Berkeley
North Berkeley's "Gourmet Ghetto" is arguably the birthplace of the sustainable movement in the United States. Working in conjunction with the North Shattuck Business Association, ACCI Gallery, MLK Middle School, neighborhood residents and businesses, and local youth, City Canvas will design and execute a large-scale mural on the south-facing wall (4,000 sq/ft) of 1625 Shattuck Avenue. The design will honor the history and power of sustainable food, local farmers, and food justice.
