Tempe Empty Bowlsempty_bowls_logo.jpg

Empty Bowls is organized by a volunteer committee who's work starts in September and meets until the event in February.

Hand-crafted bowls, made by potters at the City of Tempe Ceramics Program, local artists and by Tempe area high school and middle school students, are available for a minimum donation of ten dollars. With the purchase of a bowl, Whole Foods Market offered a simple meal of soup and bread (symbolic of the caloric intake that must sustain many in the world for an entire day).

Friday’s entertainment included music from Walt Richardson, and Saturday from Randy Olson and Friends.
