Empty Bowls is an event in which people buy pottery-made bowls and sell them to family and friends. The proceeds go to the Altoona Food Bank and the Mountain Lion Backpack Program.
“I think empty bowls is beautiful. To think that people can use their creative energy to end world hunger gives me hope for the future,” Ninth grade art teacher Ann Bickel said. “This is the hardest group of working students. Each year they continue to raise the bar.”
“We are donating $1500 to the Mountain Lion Backpack Program and $500 to the Altoona Food Bank,” Bickel added. “The $1500 should feed 15 kids, that’s how much it costs for food.” The Community Inspired Arts program worked continuously for this, and it turned out mighty fine.
