Community Bowls is new exhibition featuring handcrafted ceramic bowls by 14 local makers, showcasing the talent and creativity within our regional community. More than just an art show, this exhibit honors the spirit of the Empty Bowls movement, a global grassroots effort to fight hunger through art and community action. Each bowl on display represents not only the unique vision of its creator but also a shared commitment to raising awareness and supporting those in need.

Many of the participating artists will be contributing bowls to the Missoula Food Bank’s Empty Bowls fundraiser which this year will take place Wednesday September 3 at the Missoula Public Library.

Featured artists include:
Chris Alveshere, Andrew Avakian, Jesse Brinkerhoff, Donna Flanery, Bruce Kitts, Joshua Kuensting, Beth Lo, Phil Mahn, Courtney Murphy, Melissa Mylcreest, Kelsey Ochs, Kelly Schirmann, Matt Simms, Amy York

The exhibition will be on display at the Clay Studio of Missoula from May 2-31, with an opening on Friday May 2, from 5-8pm.

Gallery events are free and open to the public.
