OVERVIEW
CREATE: The Community Meal, commissioned from Seitu Jones by Public Art Saint Paul, aimed to lower barriers to making healthy food choices by gathering 2,000 people at a 1/2-mile-long table in the middle of Saint Paul's Victoria Street for a civic dinner table conversation about food access, food justice, and healthy eating.
