Summer 2006

                                                                               

Help Us Celebrate: Food!

“Most of us eat day in day out without giving a second thought to the wealth of history and
culture that shapes our dining habits and taste preferences. Our recipes, menus, ceremonies, and etiquette are directly shaped by our country’s rich immigrant experience, the history and innovations of food preparation technology, and the ever-changing availability of key ingredients.”

 

In honor of the 2006 Centennial Celebration of the City of Buhl, The Buhl Arts Council is proud to be presenting Key Ingredients: America by Food, a traveling exhibit hosted by the Smithsonian Institution in partnership with the Idaho Humanities Council. The Exhibit will be on display at the Eighth Street Center from September 8—October 14, 2006. For more information visit www.keyingredients.org.

 

Curated by Charles Camp, Key Ingredients: America by Food explores the connections between Americans and the foods they produce, prepare, preserve, and present at our tables.

 

The Buhl Arts Council is planning events, programs, and  a local exhibition to link our local food specialties to the national story told in the exhibition. Please contact the Buhl Arts Council (543-2888)  if you, your business or organization would like to participate in this opportunity to highlight the foods that represent our community.
