About Empty Bowls Houston
Empty Bowls is an international effort to fight hunger, implemented in Houston to benefit the Houston Food Bank. The unique lunch fundraiser — held Saturday, May 18th, 2019 — is a collaboration between Houston area ceramists, wood-turners and artists working in all media and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
For a minimum $25 donation, attendees receive a simple lunch of soup provided by Sweet Tomatoes and bread provided by Slow Dough, and then select a bowl from more than 1,000 unique, hand-crafted bowls donated by Houston area ceramists and craft artists. The empty bowls serve as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our community and the world. There are also larger bowls available at higher prices. The event is being held at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 4848 Main Street. For more information, tickets or to donate a bowl, visit www.EmptyBowlsHouston.org.
