22nd Annual Chili Bowl Sale returns on October 3 at University of Evansville
Evansville, IN (09/18/2024) — For the 22nd year, the University of Evansville (UE) Clay Club and Department of Art are excited to announce their annual Chili Bowl Sale that will take place on Thursday, October 3, 2024, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., on the East Terrace Lawn near Ridgway University Center. This longstanding tradition and philanthropy allow the community to purchase handcrafted ceramic bowls created by UE faculty, staff, and students, with a large portion of the proceeds supporting a food agency to fight local hunger.
"This tradition offers the community the chance to own one-of-a-kind, handmade bowls, all while supporting our students and community," said Todd Matteson, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Art. "It's a wonderful way to showcase our creativity and craftsmanship, while giving back to the community. The funds raised allow us to continue fostering innovation and hands-on experiences in changing the world."
Bowls will be available for purchase, priced from $10 to $100. Each purchase includes a complimentary serving of chili sponsored by Chartwells Dining Services. Attendees are encouraged to buy a bowl, enjoy some chili, and spend time with friends. Some of the funds raised help the Clay Club with materials and travel to conferences and exhibitions.
In the event of rain, the Chili Bowl Sale will move indoors to Eykamp Hall in Ridgway University Center. Please note that cash or checks are the only forms of payment accepted for this event.
