Learn about the mission, history and future of Empty Bowls Wichita

Ceramic artist Brenda Lichman, the Ulrich Museum of Art’s associate director of education and executive director of Empty Bowls Wichita, will share the story of this community-driven project that uses the ceramic arts in collaboration with local chefs to fight food insecurity in Wichita starting at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15 in the Dr. Sam & Jacque Kouri Collection Study Center in the Ulrich. Refreshments will be served at 10 a.m.

Representatives from HumanKind Ministries and The Pando Initiative — the organizations who will benefit from this year’s Empty Bowls Wichita fundraiser — will also speak. Lichman will create a bowl live, reminding participants that every handmade bowl represents a step toward a more nourished and connected community.
