“Soup N’ Bowl” Event Scheduled for Friday, March 1st
The St.
George Art Museum’s annual “Soup N’ Bowl” luncheon and fundraiser will take
place Friday, March 1, 2013 between 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM in the Social Hall on
the Museum’s campus at 200 North Main in St. George.
This annual
community event gives residents the opportunity to enrich their lives with art,
have a light lunch, choose a hand-crafted bowl to take home and support the Art
Museum at the same time.
A silent
auction will give attendees a chance to bid on pottery works of art made by
local professional artists including Glen Blakley, Dr. John M. & Suzanne Jennings,
and Joe Viers, as well as pieces from Art Festival ceramic artists. Those in attendance will see the retail value
of items up for bid and be able to write their bids on paper forms next to the
article. Winners will be announced at
the end of the luncheon.
Bowls
crafted by Blakley, Jennings and Viers and many other local potters will be
added to the collection of
bowls to choose from at the event, as well as
others made by students in the pottery programs at DSC, and other schools. Those who pay the $20 luncheon fee will be
able to choose a bowl to take home from this collection. Bargain Bowls will also be available to
purchase for attendees, as well as drawings.
The “Soup N’
Bowl” provides an excellent opportunity for residents to support their local
Art Museum and at the same time choose quality pottery art pieces from local
artists. Past annual
“Soup N’ Bowls” have raised significant amounts that the Art Museum has been
able to use to support displays and purchase paintings for the Museum’s
permanent collection.
