Join HCCC and the Houston Food Bank for the 18th Annual Empty Bowls Houston!

As part of a grassroots effort by artists and craftspeople in cities and towns across the country to feed the hungry in their communities, Empty Bowls Houston is implemented locally by Houston-area ceramists and artists working in various media, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and the Houston Food Bank.

For a minimum $25 donation, attendees have the pleasure of selecting a bowl from thousands of one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted made and donated bowls donated by Houston area ceramists and craft artists, then receive a simple lunch. The empty bowls serve as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our community and around the world.

Pottery and woodturning demonstrations and live music will be featured at the event. For more information, visit Empty Bowls Houston.

DONATE BOWLS
Make and donate bowls to help provide food for better lives! Bowls can be dropped off April 29 – May 10 at HCCC during public hours (Tuesday – Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM), or at the Ceramic Store (check website for business hours). **Please note: HCCC will be closed to the public on Thursday, May 2.**
