Empty Bowls Arts Festival- Sat. June 12 - 11am - 4pm

For the Last Class of the Seniors Art Enrichment Program we painted designs onto bowls. This is mine before the firing, I can't wait to see it when its shiny. My hope is someone likes horses enough to pay $20 (the ongoing price) for the bowl. The empty bowl origins come from Michigan, A teacher and his students were searching to raise funds to support a food drive. Guests were served soup and bread as a meal and were then invited to keep the bowl as a reminder of the hunger in the world.The Airdrie Artist Guild will be painting theirs on Wed June 9th.
I will post more pictures of all the bowls.

Seniors Art Enrichment Program

Today the Airdrie Artists Guild will host the seniors art enrichment program at the over 50s Club.  This is the last day of the program and it was free for our senior community.  Today they will give back by painting bowls to donate for the Empty Bowls Fundraiser here in Airdrie next Saturday at Nose Creek Park.  Anyone wishing to volunteer to help out we will begin at 2:30 pm  Thanks Tami
