The Empty Bowls Project in Chicago takes place Friday, December 12th.
Please spread the word to any artists you know that would be willing to donate a ceramic bowl. You can contact Joanna Kramer if you have any questions. Her information is also below including ‘drop off’ location.
Empty Bowls is a nationwide effort by artists/potters to help fight hunger. Lillstreet Art Center is proud to host the 3rd annual Empty Bowls Project to benefit Chicago-area hunger-fighting organizations. We're asking student and professional potters to donate bowls for this cause.
Empty Bowls works like this: guests choose a bowl and are served a generous serving of soup and bread made by First Slice Cafe, in exchange for a $20 suggested donation. Guests keep the bowl as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. Bowls with an estimated price of over $30 will be placed up for auction.
Empty Bowls will take place on Friday, December 12, 2008, 5-8 pm in the Lillstreet Gallery.
100% of the money raised will be given to First Slice (www.firstslice.org), so they may continue to create healthy meals for these local organizations whose mission includes helping those who are hungry and/or homeless: Heartland Alliance, The Night Ministry, American Indian Center Youth Program, Howard Area Alternative High School, Broadway Youth Center, Center on Halstead, and Chicago-area soup kitchens.
With the revenue generated from last year’s EMPTY BOWLS event, First Slice was able to donate 1000 meals to youth in need.

Corinne D. Peterson ~ Krasl Art Center Biennial Sculpture Invitational
Chicago sculptor and clay artist Corinne D. Peterson is one of 26 sculptors from throughout the country chosen to display work at the Krasl Art Center’s Biennial Sculpture Invitational in St. Joseph, Michigan, from July 24, 2008 through September 7, 2009.
The theme of the 13-month long, outdoor show is the environment and how the art and the artist address the issue.

The three stoneware markers are 5'10", 6'3" and 6'9" tall.
In addition to Corinne Peterson, works by the following Chicago sculptors are included in the Krasl exhibition: Dean Langworthy, David R. Nelson, Mary K. O’Shaughnessy, Ted Sitting Crow Garner and Lucy Slivinski.
