Empty Bowls fundraiser on March 7 benefits Doug Campbell
For the fourth time in the last 12 years, the university is hosting an “Empty Bowls†fundraiser – this time to benefit longtime art professor Doug Campbell as he continues to recover from a November 2012 stroke.
Join us Friday, March 7, for an “Empty Bowls†dinner from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Klages Dining Hall. For $12, attendees will receive a meal in a handmade ceramic bowl created by students, alumni, faculty members and guest professional artists. The cost is $10 per person for families of four or more. Sponsoring the event are Bob’s Red Mill, Newberg Bakery and food service provider Bon Appetit.
To prepare, 40 students, alumni, professors and professional and amateur artists from all over the region gathered for a “throw-a-thon†in George Fox’s ceramics lab last November. In all, about 2,200 bowls were created, according to event organizer Mark Terry.
