Event Details

🥣🎨 Why is Empty Bowls our favorite event? It’s more than just a gathering—it’s a heartwarming experience that brings our community together in so many ways:
👩‍🎨 Artists: Creative minds come together to craft beautiful bowls, each one a masterpiece filled with love and purpose.
🎶 Entertainers: Our event is not just about food; it’s about creating memories. New this year, inspired by the first Empty Bowls event held by a high school art class in Southeast Michigan over 34 years ago, the Coalition is partnering with area artists to provide live demonstrations and art available for purchase. Local entertainment will be showcased – including a presentation by Michael Sincic, a local watercolor artist who is blind.
🍽️ Restaurateurs: Local restaurants generously donate their delicious soups, showcasing the culinary talent of our community.
💙 Donors and Ticket Holders: Your support keeps our mission alive. Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference in the lives of those in need. The cost for the event is $27 in advance or $33 at the door for adults, children 6-13 is $15, and children 5 and under are free.
🙋‍♀️ Volunteers: Dedicated individuals who lend their time and effort to ensure the success of our event and our mission everyday, spreading kindness with every gesture.
🌾 By supporting Empty Bowls, you’re not only helping your neighbors in need – including veterans, seniors, children, and families; but you’re also backing our local farmers. With your support, we’re able to invest in fresh, locally sourced produce and proteins, keeping our funds within the farm community and supporting family farmers.
📅 Mark your calendars for April 28, from 11 a.m.to 3 p.m. at Howe Arena and join us for a day filled with compassion, connection, and delicious food. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and continue to spread love throughout our community.
See you there! 🌟

The Old Art Building came into being in 1922 as the result of planning and fundraising done by the Walter T. Best Women’s Club, led by Allie Mae Maro. Allie Mae was the widow of Walter T. Best, also known as Edward Maro “Price of Magic.”

In 1923 Allie Mae opened her own business, The Blue Lantern Tea Room which offered lunch as well as afternoon tea. Those who knew Allie Mae knew her to be a generous hostess and a great supporter of arts and culture in the region. She and her husband had toured on the Lyceum circuit before his passing and had been known to host salon entertainments in their estate home on Lake Leelanau.

Drawing from all of this rich history, The Old Art Building is pleased to introduce the Blue Lantern Tea Room program monthly through the winter. We offer the intimate salon-style interaction with artists along with refreshments and tea to be enjoyed in the sunlit ambiance of this historical space.

Sunday, February 11: SOLD OUT “Classical Guitar” — Matthew Cochran and students from Interlochen Arts Academy. Renowned solo guitar composer/performer Matthew Cochran brings students from his studio to “air out” new compositions and talk about the inspiration and discipline it takes to bring a new composition to life.

Sunday, March 10: “Bon Appetit” — An Operatic Biography of Julia Child. Indulge in what is arguably the world’s most famous chocolate cake while getting the story straight from the baker’s mouth. An actual transcript of Julia baking her cake is masterfully set to music and sung by nationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Lindsey Anderson.

Sunday, April 14: “She Does Shakespeare” — Women actors shake up Shakespeare. Area actresses take their stab at famous scenes and monologues intended exclusively for men. We will be joined by actor/writer Shelby Lewis who has a wealth of experience in adapting The Bard for modern audiences. She and the actors will address the challenges and delights of reimagining these familiar words for women.

Sunday, May 12: “Spring Madrigals” — A selection of seasonal vocal music from Leland Public School Honors Choir. It’s May! Time for flower crowns, strawberries and cream, and a flourish of spring madrigals, performed by the youthful voices of the Leland Honors Choir.

CITY PARK GRILL

Annual Morel Wine Dinner

Feast on City Park Grill’s fungi infused 27th Annual Morel Wine Dinner featuring Caymus Vineyards wines. Morel featured entrées include Morel-Potato Gnocchi Duck Confit, Poached Cod-Morel Mushroom Ramen Bowl, Smoked Pork Belly, Red Wine Braised Short Ribs and Morel-Banana Crème Brûlée. Join special guest, Eric Bjorkman, Great Lakes Wine and Spirits, as he guides guests through four perfect Caymus Vineyards wine pairings and an optional premium pour.

Caymus Vineyards History (According to the Caymus Vineyards Website)

“Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr., opened
Caymus Vineyards in 1972, starting off with 240 cases of Cabernet
Sauvignon. Today, Caymus remains 100% family-owned and run, as the next
generation takes on the responsibility of this farming and winemaking
operation.

Caymus Vineyards is located in the center of the Napa Valley. Primary
production is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils on both
the valley floor and the mountains that surround the valley. Attention
to viticulture details, some dry farming, high-density plantings (with
some blocks spaced as close as meter x meter), thinning of the yield,
along with healthy vines and harvesting at an elevated degree of
ripeness – all of these elements produce a unique and singular style of
Cabernet.”

Doors open at 6 PM, stories begin at 6:30 PM. Complimentary lite hors d’oeuvre’s & refreshments will be served.

*** SPACE IS VERY LIMITED FOR THIS EVENT SO GRAB THOSE TICKETS EARLY

What comes to mind when you think of the word Inheritance? Often it is something tangible which is passed down through the ages from loved ones, a piece of property such as a family farm? Perhaps it could be a job or position in your community? How about your dimples, or your freckles? Is what you have inherited a blessing or a curse? Could it be a treasured possession such as your grandmother’s favorite jewelry which now holds great sentimental value to you? Maybe you inherited your sunny disposition from your father, while inheriting your mother’s beautiful singing voice? How are we tied to these things, and how will we pass them on? How do we keep it and honor it?

The Art & Storytelling event is one evening only, however the Artwork for the show is on display at the gallery from May 10th-June 1st.

TELLERS:
Dana Black is a public speaker, public speaking coach, union actor, and the host of the I Swear on My Mother’s Grave podcast.
Renée Dillard is an award winning, traditional Anishinaabe natural fiber artist and teacher.
Shea Petaja is a Life/Work coach and podcast host and creator of The Honest Edge.
Mayor Amy Shamroe is the current Mayor of Traverse City. She is also the Book Award/Festival director at The Jenkins Group.

ARTISTS:
Shanny Brooke is an artist and the owner/director of Higher Art Gallery.
Kim Kleinhardt is a fiber media artist whose work focus on storytelling through visual engagement.
B.G. Mills is an encaustic & mixed media artist whose work is both nature based & nostalgic.
Ann Willey is a contemporary Folk artist whose work is primarily based in myth and storytelling.
Michelle Tock York is a clay and found object sculptor whose work is both rooted in her upbringing & nature.

A portion of the proceeds from this event will go to Enjinaabiigigeying (the place where we weave). A studio which is run by Anishinaabe weaver, Renée Dillard. This studio enables a vital part of native culture to be preserved and passed down to future generations.
