About the event

Riverworks Art Center & Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences, in collaboration with Poolesville High School & John Poole Middle School, present: Empty Bowls: Sunday March 16th, 4-6pm at Locals Farm Market


Empty Bowls is a global grassroots movement that brings potters, students and community together to raise awareness and funds for local food-related charities. Each guest picks a handmade bowl to take home and enjoys a variety of delicious soups and bread! Students from Barnesville School, Poolesville High School, and John Poole Middle School, as well as Riverworks Associate Artists, along with other local potters, have created beautiful bowls that they have generously donated to this cause. 


$20 ticket:  includes a student-made bowl, homemade soup & freshly baked bread 

$10 ticket: ***available for students and artists who made or donated a bowl, and just wish to purchase soup and bread without purchasing a bowl***

Free admission for children 3 and under. 


All funds raised will go to the Backpack Bites program, which feeds food insecure students in Poolesville and the Ag Reserve. The Backpack Bites program is sponsored by Poolesville Presbyterian Church/Poolesville Little Free Pantry, KPC Buddhist Relief and WUMCO. If enough money is raised for a whole school year of Backpack Bites, remaining funds will go to the Summer Lunch Program run by WUMCO, so that students are fed all year round!


The event will feature homemade soups from our generous donors: 


Locals Farm Market

Artisan Market - the bowls crafted by professional artists in our community will be sold at a special artisan table. These are individually priced and all proceeds go towards the cause.
