EMPTY BOWLS: SOCIAL JUSTICE THROUGH CRAFT

Join us for an Empty Bowls gathering! 

Sunday, November 17 |  1-3 PM | Buchanan Room
Tickets: $25 in Advance | $30 at the Door

To support our neighbors in need, VisArts’ Center for Craft Studies presents Empty Bowls, an international initiative aimed at combating hunger in our community.

Ticket proceeds will support Stepping Stones Shelter, a nonprofit organization in Rockville that provides emergency food and shelter to families experiencing homelessness in Montgomery County.

Guests will have the opportunity to choose a bowl handcrafted by VisArts ceramics students and faculty, with clay, glazes, and firing donated by VisArts.

During the event, we will raffle off artwork created and donated by VisArts faculty and staff. Raffle proceeds will benefit CERF+ (Craft Emergency Relief Fund), which is providing emergency relief to craft artists affected by Hurricane Helene.

Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event: one for $10 or six for $50. Bring a bag of clean clothes to donate and get one free raffle ticket!

Event tickets include a light meal, generously provided by Catering by Seasons.
