The popular Empty Bowls Chili Cook-off has been rebranded as Bowl Fest and will take place later today 4-8 p.m. Friday, April 29 at the Groover Labs parking lot (334 St. Francis Ave). The event is hosted by Wichita State College of Fine Arts; it’s School of Art Design and Creative Industries; the Wichita School District; Wichita East High School Ceramics Club; Spirit AeroSystems and Groover Labs.
The event will feature a collection of bowls for sale made by local and regional artists, ranging in price from $5-$50. Monetary donations will also be accepted, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the Kansas Food Bank.
Instead of the traditional chili cook-off competition, Bowl Fest will feature food trucks, live printmaking and wheel throwing demonstrations. Come join the fun and help support the Kansas Food Bank.
