Empty Bowls
We are so excited to announce that the New Albany Parks & Recreation is hosting another date night event including painting Empty Bowls this Saturday, September 26th.
All proceeds will benefit the NAFP.
Not interested in making it a date night or watching the movie? No problem! This family-friendly event is a fun, socially-distanced activity to do with friends or children.
What is the Empty Bowls program?
Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement by artists and craftspeople in towns all over the world to care for and feed the hungry in their communities. The Empty Bowls events were created to support food-related charitable organizations around the world, just like the New Albany Food Pantry.
How does it work?
When you attend an Empty Bowls event, you purchase a ceramic bowl on site (aprox. $10). Paints and brushes will be provided for your use during the event. Social distancing and masks are required. Once you’ve painted your bowl(s), you will leave the bowls to be fired in the kiln. The finished bowls will be available for pickup in approximately one week. Details for pickup will be provided to you when you purchase a bowl.
