EMPTY BOWLSFriday, March 5, 2010, 5-8pm
The Empty Bowls Project is a nationwide effort by potters to end hunger. Lillstreet Art Center is proud to host this 4th 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 $20 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, and live music by Mambo Blonde.
Potters interested in donating bowls: please drop off your donation to the designated cart in the ceramics area (near the east stairwell) or ship to Lillstreet, 4401 N. Ravenswood, Chicago, IL 60640.
Anyone else interested in donating items to the silent auction, please drop them off at the front desk with Jane Hanna or with Cathi Bouzide in studio 205W.
