Empty Bowls Houston invites you and your family to the
18th Annual Empty Bowls Houston 
at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft on Saturday, May 11th!

.

One of Houston’s best-loved grassroots fundraising events, Empty Bowls Houston, will return for the 18th Annual event on Saturday, May 11, 2024. Empty Bowls is an international effort to fight hunger, implemented in Houston to benefit the Houston Food Bank. The unique lunch fundraiser is a collaboration between Houston area ceramists, woodturners and artists working in all media and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Since the inception of the event, Empty Bowls Houston has raised $1,054,599 for the Houston Food Bank! (This equates to more than 3.16 million meals for the hungry!)

Attendees enjoy perusing the 1,500-plus one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted bowls made and donated by Houston area ceramists and craft artists, which are available for a donation to the Houston Food Bank of $25 per bowl (100% goes to Houston Food Bank). There are also larger bowls available at higher prices. Note: for each $1 donated to Houston Food Bank, THREE meals are provided to the hungry, so, each $25 bowl purchased provides 75 meals!

The event will be held at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft in both the indoor gallery spaces and outdoor garden. There will be live artist demonstrations outdoors throughout the event, and live music in the garden. All attendees who purchase bowls will enjoy a salad or wrap from Salata, a sweet treat from Ben & Jerry’s, and hot and iced coffee from Katz’s Coffee.

WHEN: Saturday, May 11, 2024 ~ 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. *Food served ‘til it runs out!

WHERE: Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 4848 Main (77002)
