| "Artful" Bowls - 300 Bowls for 300 Years |
This event is a joint fundraiser at Temple Baptist Church. Area restaurants donate soup, and potters contribute bowls for sale. Proceeds benefit Religious Community Services and Craven Arts Council & Gallery.
This event builds on the cultural heritage of New Bern and is intended to demonstrate both the compassion of this community in taking care of the less fortunate, and the strong value of the arts in our history and current culture. Pottery, the oldest art form, will be created by local artists. With every luncheon ticket, participants will select a pottery bowl that they may keep as well as enjoy a lunch donated by local restaurants.
