Sponsorship Opportunities and Individual Tickets coming soon!
Empty Bowls is sponsored by Food Lion Feeds and the CRVA (Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority), and is an event designed to raise awareness and funds for our work in ending hunger in the Metrolina region.
Potters of all ages, skill levels and approaches to clay will donate hundreds of handmade ceramic bowls. The bowl then serves as a reminder that someone's bowl is always empty and that we need to continue our efforts to end hunger in our community.
The event includes: A pottery demonstration by Clayworks, a huge silent auction with almost 200 packages, raffle, a delicious boxed lunch prepared by the spectacular team at the Charlotte Convention Center, a GoPlaySave coupon book provided by The Real Estate Transition Team, and hundreds of pottery bowls to choose from!
Empty Bowls 2026 will be held on April 24, 2026 with general admission from 11:30am-1pm and VIP from 11am-1pm at the Charlotte Convention Center (Richardson Ballroom) with approximately 650 guests in attendance. Stay tuned for sponsorship opportunities and individual ticket sales.
