Art in the form of meal kits is the latest from Active Cultures, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that brings art and food programming to the public. Called Home Assembly, the limited-edition kit, available through this summer until sold out, has of a plate in the style of Daruma (a Japanese symbol of perseverance and luck often on a doll), 10.78 inches in diameter, by Glenn Kaino; three recipes for mochi by Minh Phan, the chef and an owner of Phenakite; sweet rice and mochiko rice flour from Koda Farms in Dos Palos, Calif.; and a QR code to access a conversation between Ms. Phan and Robin Koda, an owner of Koda Farms. The proceeds support public arts programs by Active Cultures.
