This week, RUPRI partnered with the Kentucky Arts Council, Owensboro Health, the Kentucky Highlands Investment Corporation, and Art of the Rural to host a statewide conversation in Owensboro, KY about the dynamic intersection of food, art and health.
More than seventy-five people travelled to Owensboro to attend the event, which offered participants a broad understanding of the impact of food + art + health on economic development, advancement of the arts, social cohesion, tourism, elder care, health, education and more. The gathering also showed off Owensboro’s cultural assets, with participants visiting the RiverPark Center, Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, the International Bluegrass Music Museum, CYO Brewing, and dozens of local restaurants.
