INDIANAPOLIS — 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 promises a lineup of activities, including edible bugs, beekeeping, chickens, cooking on your car engine (!), cheesemaking, mushroom music, aquaponics, food desert education, food preservation techniques, vertical gardening, and more. In a special feature for this year’s convention, attendees will also be treated to screenings of the “Food for Thought” Short Film Series presented by Indiana Humanities.
FoodCon will be at the Harrison Center of the Arts, 1505 N. Delaware from 6-9 p.m. during First Friday.
