The Arts Center/Old Forge will present the 5th Annual Chili Bowl Luncheon on Tuesday, February 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
All are invited to the fundraising event that features a variety of chili, vegetarian chili, soups and stews served in handcrafted pottery bowls created by area potters who participate in the Arts Center’s Pottery Open Studio.
Among those who crafted bowls for the event are: Art Baird, Vincent Clemente, Megan Crimmins, Dennis DeStefanis, Barbara Fry, Julie Hindsdill, Marie Imundo, Linda Erion, Bette Rintrona, Greg Rudd, Nancy Venetz, Ruth McKenna, Jeffrey Cohen, Page Hannah, and Carolyn Gaylord.
The event is supported by local businesses and volunteers who donate food and services.
The cost of the luncheon ranges from $16 to $20, depending on the size and intricacy of the bowl of choice.
The price of lunch served without a bowl is $8. Lunch also includes bread and dessert. Take-out is available.
Lunch-goers will also have the opportunity to take a guided tour of the new Arts Center facility and view the Regional Ceramics Exhibition that will be on display through March 12.
The exhibition features the work of Dean Richards, the Utica Art Association and the many potters who donated their talents to the Chili Bowl Luncheon.
