Empty Bowls painting event
2025-01-31 14:00 - 16:00 | Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center, 1312 Maple Street, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
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.
