Fight hunger with ‘Empty Bowl’

Throw a bowl, feed a hungry human. Students with Lake Superior College’s Art Club along with area artists will use their creativity to fight hunger throughout the region during an upcoming Throw-a-thon to be held Dec. 7-8. This fund-raising activity will support Duluth’s “Empty Bowl” project, an annual event to raise money for Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank.

The 13th annual Lake Superior College Throw-a-thon will take place from 3-10 p.m. on Dec. 7 and on 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 8. Held in the ceramics studio at LSC’s Art building, the event attracts dozens of students and some of the region’s most accomplished artists to throw ceramic bowls for the Empty Bowl.

The completed works of art will be available for a donation at the 20th annual “Empty Bowl” event at the Duluth Depot on Tuesday, April 16. The bowls will be offered along with a variety of delicious soups that have been donated by area restaurants on that day.

Area artists and community members are encouraged to participate. For more information, contact Tonya Borgeson at 218-310-8903 or email t.borgeson@lsc.edu.
