Empty Bowls

Friday, March 1, 2013, 5-8pm

RSVP Here. 

The Empty Bowls Project is a nationwide effort by potters to end hunger. Lillstreet Art Center is proud to host this 6th annual event to benefit First Slice, a local hunger-fighting organization.

Join us for a modest meal of soup and bread, served in a bowl donated by a ceramic artist that you may take home as a reminder of all the other bowls you will have helped to fill.

Bowls are $25 each, and there is no limit to the number of bowls you may purchase. Sales begin at 5pm on a first-come, first-served basis. There will also be a silent auction of artist-crafted items.

Potters interested in donating bowls: please drop off your donation to the designated cart in the ceramics area (near the east stairwell) AFTER February 1ST or ship to Lillstreet, 4401 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, IL 60640.

 

We are asking for handmade bowl donations from all students. Every bowl makes a big difference! If you can't spare a bowl, we will gladly accept silent auction donations of handmade items, gift certificates, gift baskets, etc. Please drop off silent auction items with Julia Zema at the front desk or 3rd floor office. ?

 

We need volunteers to help make this night a success. Please contact Julia Zema at julia@lillstreet.com if you're interested in helping out.
