What is it? Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger growing across the nation and the world. The idea is that potters, artists, and community members’ work together to create custom hand crafted bowls. This event combines compassion with creativity while generating public awareness with the community members. Proceeds benefit food distribution centers and meal programs in Chelan and Douglas counties.

How does it work? There is a $15 donation and then community members will receive a bowl to decorate and paint. After the bowls are collected, they are glazed then fired in a kiln. Once this is done following three paint days, we host a celebration at Wenatchee High School.

The final celebration will be at Wenatchee High School on Saturday, April 12, 2025 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm. We will enjoy soup together with the bowl you created. For those who did not paint a bowl but wish to attend the Soup Meal the fee is $5 for the donation. You will take home your bowl as a reminder of all the bowls in our community that too often go empty.

Documentary Screening: Han, Intergenerational Trauma and Collective Identity by Cymone Van Marter at Confluence Gallery
2025-07-08 18:30 - 20:00 | The Confluence, 104 Glover Street South, Twisp, WA, 98856, United States
Twisp, WA — Confluence Gallery is proud to host an evening screening of Han, Intergenerational Trauma and Collective Identity, a thesis documentary by Cymone Van Marter, a Liberty Bell High School graduate. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 8, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Confluence Gallery and is free and open to the public. Due to the nature of the historical content, a 13+ age range is advised.
Van Marter recently completed her Bachelor of Arts in Film and Television and East Asian Studies with an emphasis in Korean Language and Culture, with a minor in Spanish. Her 25-minute documentary, Han, explores a uniquely Korean cultural concept born from centuries of war, colonization, and collective struggle. Through powerful interviews and curated historical archives, she investigates how this inherited emotion continues to shape South Korean identity today.
“My goal was to present Korean history and identity in a way that feels approachable and educational for an American audience,” Van Marter said. “Han is unfamiliar to many in the West, but understanding it opens a window into the broader human experiences of trauma, resilience, and cultural inheritance.”
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Seating is first come, first served. Attendees are advised that the film contains historical material that may be triggering for some.
Join us at Confluence Gallery for this thought-provoking and timely film event.
