EVENT DETAILS

I'm not running the event this year.

During dinner everyone chooses an artisan ceramic bowl made by ceramics classes to take home with them as a reminder that their participation helped ease someone's hunger. All the proceeds benefit the Anne Arundel County Food Bank.

SPONSORS

Art teacher John Hartom initiated the project in 1990-91 when he joined a drive to give funds to the Michigan community. His idea was to organize a charitable event to give artists and art students a way to make a personal difference. Today Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity. For more information go to www.emptybowls.net.
