The 21st annual Martin Empty Bowls will be held at the Martin Public Library Stage from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 19.
The event will run alongside the Fall Harvest Festival Event of the Martin Farmers Market.
Proceeds from Martin Empty Bowls will support the local food pantry from WE CARE Ministries that services Weakley County.
Martin Empty Bowls is a regional project of the larger grassroots movement called Empty Bowls Project.
This chapter of Empty Bowls was founded in 2003 by David McBeth, retired UTM art professor and potter, to help combat food insecurities in Martin.
Potter Jason Woolery and UT Martin students have been busy creating hundreds of thoughtfully handcrafted bowls in the university ceramics studio for this year’s event.
Each of these bowls will be available starting at a $15 donation.
The public is invited to view and purchase the handmade bowls at the Martin Public Library the day of the event.
