A Culinary Arts Competition for Equity
Artists are often catalyst for positive change. For 38 years, the small-but-mighty Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association (PPNA) has sought various artist partnerships to help gather, mobilize, and build community. This October, its first-annual Powderhorn Culinary Arts Show (PCAS) aims to rival the popularity of its twenty-eight-year-old Powderhorn Art Fair.
PCAS is set to become a highly anticipated outdoor food and beverage competition for professional and junior culinary geniuses. Anyone who believes they have the talent, skill, and a buzz-worthy creation should apply. This event is not only for those with national, regional, or local acclaim but for those whose culinary street cred is yet to be uncovered. The 60 competing finalists will be selected by an award-winning panel of jurors that includes the likes of renowned Pastry Chef John Kraus.
The event takes place in the beautiful 66-acre Powderhorn Park in the heart of South Minneapolis, providing the perfect backdrop for a memorable and picture-perfect fall show. It will also feature a variety of other experiences, including a beer garden and pop-up shops for kitchen gadgetry and seasonal pumpkins.
PCAS is open and free to the public and all about helping connect and build community. Time and time again, PPNA has seen the power of arts and artists drive positive change. Proceeds from this year’s event will go toward association advocacy costs to improve livability and safety, housing justice, and equitable development. PCAS will uplift dynamic culinary artists and an art-centered community working in partnership for equity.
