The fine arts department at South Delta Secondary will be hosting an Empty Bowls fundraising dinner next week. Students have created over 60 bowls on a pottery wheel that will be donated and used at the dinner, which will be a simple meal of soup and bread made by staff.
Theatre and music students will entertain guests as well.
"I think it takes art to a different place," says fine arts department head Julie Lymburner, noting the students are supporting a worthy cause with their work.
Guests can take their bowl home as a memento at the end of the evening.
Proceeds from the event will go to Deltassist to help provide groceries to Delta residents in need.
The fundraising dinner is set for Thursday, Jan. 21 at 6 p.m. at the SDSS cafeteria.
Tickets cost $30 and RSVPs are required to attend the fundraiser. Call the school at 604-943-7407 or email Lymburner at [email protected].
