Art Feeds the Soul
Decatur, Ala. – Nothing warms the heart more than enjoying a bowl of hot soup in a handcrafted, locally-made bowl on a winter day while also raising funds for two good causes. The Winston County Arts Council will host its Empty Bowls dinner Thursday, Feb. 2, 2023, beginning at 5 p.m. at the Double Springs Municipal Building. The event is a fundraiser for the Winston County Arts Council and Main Street Ministries food bank.
During Empty Bowls, ticketholders will be able to sample approximately 25 different soups, made by students from the culinary department from Wallace State Community College, chefs and local restaurants and members of the community. Ticketholders also leave with a handcrafted and custom-painted bowl provided by the Winston County Arts Council.
In addition to unlimited bowls of soup, paintings, pottery and other works of art by local artists will be available for purchase.
Tickets are $15 each and may be purchased at the door. Proceeds benefit the Winston County Arts Council and Main Street Ministries food bank. The Double Springs Municipal Building is located at 23415 Highway 195 in Double Springs. For more information, call Winston County Arts Council Board Member J. P. Snoddy at 205-489-6569.
