The Empty Bowl Project began in 1994 with 400 bowls and has grown in attendance every year. The fundraiser combines the talents and generosity of The Anchorage Clay Arts Guild and some super soups provided by Bean’s Cafe! Thousands of hand-crafted pottery bowls are created for this unique event. With a ticket you can choose a hand crafted bowl to take home, bid on exceptional clay and glass pieces in the silent auction and enjoy soup and cornbread.

A need for bowls:

This event is unique in that we can only sell as many tickets as we have bowls to hand out. If you are interested in donating your ceramic, clay or glass bowls to the event please contact Katherine Jernstrom, Event and Volunteer Coordinator at 297-5612. Thank you!

Thank you to our 2012 Sponsors!

Each dollar you give through Pick.Click.Give. goes directly to the organization you want to support. The program is available to Alaskans who file on-line for their PFD. The on-line application will have a list of eligible organizations, and people will be able to choose those to which they want to contribute.

You will have the ability, when you make your donation, to check a box that authorizes the state to send your name, contact information and the amount you give when it sends contributions to an organization. We encourage you to check this box so your organization will know about your contribution, will be able to share with you how your contribution is being used, and will be able to honor and recognize you for your generous support.

The only way to give through Pick.Click.Give. is to file on-line. If you don’t have access to a computer, check with your local public library for places in your community that may have a computer you can use.
