SIGN UP FOR 2023 BROAD STREET BANNER NOW!
APPLICATIONS DUE BY FEBRUARY 28, 2023
​For the past eight years we have lined Broad Street with colorful banners, representing New Bern’s numerous cultural offerings. We are continuing this project with the ongoing mission to:
Empty Bowls 2023
Empty Bowls XIII is already upon us! If you don’t know, this event has been a community pillar in its mission to fight hunger and support the arts since 2010. Since then, the event has grown to include multiple happenings, pottery, woodcraft, quilting, and more than 40 varieties of soup from local restaurants, schools, churches, and community groups. The 2023 event will continue to feature the Potters’ Throwdown in January, with the opportunity for bowl selection at that time and a coupon to participating restaurants. Our premier Empty Bowls event will take place February 24th, with bowl selection, soups, and a community atmosphere that brings the public together for a great cause. By becoming a sponsor, not only are you securing your tickets to Empty Bowls, but also supporting the arts and the hungry in Craven County.
