Be Our Valentine and Join Us For Empty Bowls!
Thanks go out to everyone who was involved and those who attended. You all made this event a wonderful success! Next year's date has been set for February 13, 2014. See you then!
Empty Bowls is a joint outreach of Religious Community Services and the Craven Arts Council & Gallery. The 2013 event was held at the Temple Baptist Church on February 14, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Empty Bowls is a project designed to fight hunger and help support the Arts Council. What makes this event so wonderful is that it is personalized by artists and organizations on a community level. Local restaurants and churches made, served and donated soup and bread for the event; and individuals and
local artists donated pottery, baskets and paintings. Attendees got to have some soup and bread and choose a one-of-a-kind piece of art.
Thank You From the Bottom of Our Empty Bowls!
