Curated Market Stands
Challenge local artists and producers to pair up and design market displays or kiosks that showcase the products, the farmer's story and the artist's style.

Curated Market Stands
-encourage collaboration between local entrepreneurs
-aid in advertising interesting and different products/people
-draw a wider audience to local events
-provide a better understanding of the lives behind the food we buy
The displays could be clumped into one farmers' market area or dispersed throughout the city in empty lots, abandoned buildings or public squares to activate dead zones, pique interest and create a scavenger hunt of sorts that would draw people through the city.
*this concept builds off of many of the great concepts that celebrate unique produce, utilize abandoned lots and buildings, encourage biking/walking tours and improving availability and visibility of food through mobile kiosks, floating markets, etc...
**it also draws from the organization Project Row Houses in Houston, TX that is revitalizing a neighborhood by providing an artist residency program that rehabilitates abandoned row houses. http://projectrowhouses.org/
