Empty Bowls Houston - Houston Food Bank

The 19th Annual Empty Bowls Houston will be held at Houston Center for Contemporary Craft on Saturday, March 22nd, 2025.

Empty Bowls Houston 2024 Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort by artists and craftspeople in cities and towns across the country to feed the hungry in their communities. Empty Bowls Houston is implemented locally by Houston-area ceramists and artists working in various media, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and the Houston Food Bank.

For a minimum $25 donation, attendees have the pleasure of selecting a bowl from thousands of one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted made and donated bowls donated by Houston area ceramists and craft artists, then receive a simple lunch. The empty bowls serve as a reminder of all the empty bowls in our community and around the world.

Pottery and woodturning demonstrations and live music will be featured at the event.

The Preview Party will be a ticketed event held on Friday, March 21st, from 6 pm – 8 pm, at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, 4848 Main Street.
