Title
Empty Bowls 2017
Subject
A fundraiser sponsored by IU East School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Proceeds go towards a charity. IUE ceramics students and local potters create bowls which can be purchased for $10 a piece and local restaurants supply soup for a luncheon.
Description
Guests are invited to select a bowl, made by IU East ceramics students and community potters Scott Shafer, Terry Vance, Brian Haviland, and Lynne Glass. The bowls are then filled with soup and bread. Area restaurants including The Den at IU East, Forest Hills, Hometown Dining Company, McAllister’s Deli, and Reid Health’s Cafe at Twelve Hundred will contribute soups for the event.
There is a limit of one bowl per person. The cost per person is $10.
Proceeds will benefit the Exodus Refugee Immigration, a humanitarian program that provides protection and opportunity to refugees fleeing persecution and war. Agencies such as Exodus provide services to refugee newcomers from the point of arrival to self-sufficiency. The United States has a long history of welcoming immigrants and refugees. Refugees have built new lives, homes and communities in towns and cities in all 50 states. For more information visit exodusrefugee.org.
Carrie Longley, chair of Fine and Performing Arts and assistant professor of Fine Arts, established the program locally in November 2014.
