printablesHistory of the Project

Food Font is a project started by interdisciplinary artist Kristen Baumlier.  Prior to developing Food Font, Baumlier was creating and photographing words made out of food.  Food Font was born when she realized that this activity could could become a community project to promote discussion and build community around food in a unique way.1point3acres opt

Since 2012, a number of Food Font events were held at various public events and at farmers markets, in order to get the word out about the project.  Over 1200 letters were created.

The vision for Food Font is that it will encourage discussion about food and food issues.  Participants of Food Font so far include visitors to Farmer’s markets, gardeners from community gardens, teachers, students and people who love food. It is a fun, creative activity that anyone can do of any age, and in any size group.
