Chương trình “Những chiếc bát trống” tại Houston
Thanks, Houston, for an incredible 20th annual Empty Bowls Houston!
The 20th Annual Empty Bowls Houston kicked off Thứ Sáu, Tháng Năm 15 with our Preview Party at Silver Street Studios at Sawyer Yards—a new venue for this year’s event. Preview Party Chairs Anna Dean and Gin Braverman helped bring in more than 200 attendees and raise more than $18,000 in ticket and bowl sales.
The main event took place Thứ Bảy, Tháng Năm 16, 2026, and it was truly one to behold. With over 1,500 bowls available for purchase, live demo artists, music, lunch from Salata, coffee from Katz Coffee and ice cream from Ben & Jerry’s, attendees turned out in droves!
The event was a massive success seeing over 700 attendees come from all over Houston and some from as far as San Antonio. These passionate supporters of the impactful event helped raise more than $36,000 in bowl sales!
Over the past year, Empty Bowls Houston (remove the and campaign) has raised an amazing $102,976 through sponsorships, Preview Party ticket sales and bowl sales which will help provide nearly 309,000 meals!
