Empty Bowls is the annual fundraiser for the Carroll County Soup Kitchen. Potters and amateur clay enthusiasts donate food-safe bowls, and chefs donate soup. You can choose from over 900 bowls and eat a simple lunch. Participate in the silent art auction, enjoy live music, or shop the boutique. There are also activities for the kids. It’s a wonderful time for a great cause!

Each year the October Artist Guild meeting is a bowl-making workshop for this fundraiser. Member artists are also invited to donate art toward the silent auction and boutique. 2023 deadline for art donations is February 20, 2023.

This year's event will be held February 26, 2023, 11am-2:30pm.
