Empty Bowls

Every fall, the Community Arts Center, in cooperation with the Potters Guild is proud to participate in Empty Bowls, a nationwide project dedicated to the aid of hunger-fighting organizations. Proceeds from our fundraiser are donated to local food banks.

How it works:

The Empty Bowls concept is simple. Both professional and amateur ceramic artists create and donate more than 500 one-of-a-kind ceramic bowls.  Attendees at the luncheon pay a small donation, choose a bowl to use, and are served a simple meal of soup and bread.  They keep the bowl as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. 

How you can participate:

The Community Arts Center welcomes involvement on many levels:

1. Create a bowl! The Community Arts Center offers two two-day workshops - one in summer, one in fall - to create bowls that will be used in the event. To participate in bowl making, please contact us.
2. Donate soup! Delicious donations from local restaurants have been instrumental to the success of our Empty Bowls event. To make a donation of food, please contact the main officei at 610 566 1713.
3. Join us! 100% of your contribution goes directly to fighting hunger in our area. And the handcrafted bowls you take home act as a beautiful reminder that selfless acts, rather than selfishness, are what make the world a more beautiful place.
