EMPTY BOWLS: Capital Area Food Bank » ARTISTS ONLY
|
 Wednesday, October 15, 2008
House of Artistry is pleased to announce the first "Empty Bowls" project in partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) of Washington DC.
For this event artists donating 8 or more bowls will be invited to bring an original piece of artwork, of their choice, for sale during the Empty Bowls luncheon. The artist will receive a 50% commission and the CAFB will receive a 50% donation on the original pieces - THE BOWLS WILL BE A DONATION FROM THE ARTISTS.
"COLLECTORS CIRCLE"
I will be approaching artists for artwork to be included in a special "Collectors Circle" table. Artists will receive 50% commission and 50% will go to the CAFB. The artwork does not need to be functional.
ARTWORK DEADLINE
Artwork will be delivered to House of Artisty or picked up by Saturday, October 2nd or Sunday, October 3rd.
IMAGES
Please send me a jpeg of your work. I want to get as many images as possible on the web site.
ARTISTS
If you are interested in participating please contact jodi at 301-519-1628 or email HouseofArtistry@aol.com (bottom of page).
"My goal for the first year event is to provide food for 10,000 people for a day." jodi
$1 = 3 meals
What is Empty Bowls?
The basic idea for Empty Bowls is simple. Artists create artistic bowls, then our guests are served a meal of soup or salad, bread and beverage using the Art Bowl they have purchased for a minimum donation of $25.
Guests keep their Art Bowl as a reminder that there are always Empty Bowls in the world that need to be filled. All proceeds from the sale of the Art Bowls go directly to the CAFB.
Remember $1 = 3 meals. If you pay the minimum of $25 for your bowl you have just contributed 75 meals and for that we are all truly greatful.
WHERE
DLA Piper has graciously donated the use of the lobbly in their incredible new building located at 500 8th Street NW in Washington DC. The building is in the heart of Penn Quarter, one block from the Verizon Center, Portrait Gallery, across the street from the Monaco Hotel with easy access to Gallery Place and Navy Memorial metro stations on the Red, Green and Yellow line.
WHEN
Wednesday, October 15th, 11:30am to 2:30pm. Artists are encouraged to attend and will receive their lunch free. Sorry - it will be out of a paper/plastic bowl!
