INDIANAPOLIS — In an effort to build stronger bonds in the Indianapolis community, the Harrison Center for the Arts, City Gallery and Spirit & Place invite residents to be a part of a special, home-themed City Supper event on Sun., Oct. 16.
Now in its third year, City Suppers is a partnership effort to promote a movement of neighborliness by encouraging residents to open their homes and share a meal with family, friends, and fellow members of the community.
While the main goal for City Suppers is simply to encourage families and neighbors to break bread together for a shared experience, the hope is also that they might consider discussing what “home” means to them using conversation prompts found online at spiritandplace.org and harrisoncenter.org. Interested City Suppers participants can find conversation prompts for children (“What color would you like to paint your house?”) and adults (“2016 is Indiana’s Bicentennial. Do you consider Indiana your forever home?”).
• To participate in City Suppers, Indianapolis residents should invite their neighbors, host a dinner on Sunday, Oct. 16, take a picture, write a short blog post, and send everything to citygallery@harrisoncenter.org. Social media posts using #SPIndy and #citysuppersindy are also encouraged.
• The first 60 people to respond will receive a $25 gift card to a locally owned restaurant as well as the opportunity to receive a $250 gift certificate from the Harrison Center.
• Non-urban residents are encouraged to participate as well, and prizes will be available to people from any neighborhood that submit a blog post.
• Details and registration information can be found at harrisoncenter.org.
