As the African proverb goes, "When spider webs unite, they
can tie up a lion!"
WHO: Area High School ceramics students and South Shore Art Center to
hold
WHEN: Thursday, April 16, 2015 from 5:00-7:00 PM
WHERE: South Shore Art Center, Cohasset, MA (address below).
“Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger
and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple:
Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to
create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and
bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a
reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an
organization working to end hunger and food insecurity.” Website: http://www.emptybowls.net/.
Students from Hull,
Hingham, Braintree and Cohasset High Schools Ceramics and 3D Art classes are producing
wonderful bowls for this event. Enjoy a
light meal of soup and bread, donated by Whole Foods Market, Hingham while
listening to musical entertainment from Hull High School Ensemble Group. All
donations will go to Project Bread (projectbread.org) and Outreach, Inc.
(www.outreachprogram.org). Each
organization will have a speaker at the event to explain the work they do to
feed the hungry. Additional artwork by
students and local artists will be offered in a silent auction as a donation to
this important cause.
This event is being sponsored by Whole Foods Market,
Hingham, Hull PTO and Hull Boosters.
