EVENTS CALENDAR |
About Key IngredientsThe Arizona Humanities Council is sponsoring Key Ingredients: America by Food, a Smithsonian Museum on Main Streets Traveling Exhibition that explores the ways in which history, tradition and culture have shaped the how Americans enjoy food. We're delighted to be one of six Arizona sites selected to host this amazing event. Join in the Fun Now! More than an exhibition, this is an amazing opportunity to strengthen the ties of our Tri-Community by celebrating the history of our local and national food traditions. CLICK HERE for a listing of our exciting programs and activities, including a local exhibit on outdoor eating, tours, cooking demos and hands-on workshops for people of all ages. To learn more about the project, download the following PDFs:
Teachers and StudentsKey Ingredients provides wonderful learning opportunities for students, both inside and outside of the classroom, in a range of subject-areas. Clink on the links below to find out more:
Volunteer OpportunitiesTo pull this off, we need your help – whether you have lots or just a little time to spare. We're looking for exhibit docents, event coordinators, set-up and clean-up crews, decorators, grounds sweepers, ticket takers etc. And we're also looking for ideas!
Local Food Exhibit ‘Let’s Have a Picnic!’One of the more exciting program developments is the creation of an exhibit on local food traditions that looks at oudoor eating from before and during the pioneer days, from Hohokam settlements to Apache wikiups to early Mexican homesteads to the region’s first health hotels and dude ranches. Curated and designed by local history writer Catherine Ellis and architectural designer (and current OHS Board of Directors President) Chuck Sternberg, respectively, this fun and intriguing exhibit draws on archival photographs, recipes, letters, oral histories and artifacts. Recipes & StoriesWe’d love to include your family recipes and photos in a new regional cookbook we hope to produce for Key Ingredients, namely, Family Feasts: Recipes and Stories from the Galiuros to the Catalinas. With your permission, we'll share them with the Arizona Humanities Council and through them the Smithsonian.
Thanks for your interest and participation!! |
