Guests who attend the “Starving Artist” Dinner on January 31st will receive one of these original bowls to take home as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The restaurants donating to the dinner include the Atlantic Hotel, Fresco’s, Pickles Pub, Hooked, Liquid Assets, Bull on the Beach and The Globe. Any local restaurants that would like to donate soup, bread or desserts to this worthy cause please contact Rina Thaler, Executive Director of the OC Center for the Arts at 410-524-9433.
The “Starving Artist” Dinner is part of the “Empty Bowl Project.” A grassroots effort to fight hunger, the “Empty Bowl Project” was created by the Imagine Render Group. It is a unique opportunity to use art in a way that helps the community. Events have taken place all over the United States and a dozen other countries, raising millions of dollars for organizations to help fight hunger.
