FEB 20, 2004

11:00A.M. - 1:00 P.M.

 

Meyerson Symphony Center, Dallas, Texas
Bowls and food are donated, the patrons paying $25 to get in and eat and take away one bowl.
These are pictures taken during the 2004 event at the Meyerson.  Hundreds of bowls were arranged on a row of tables around the curved atrium balcony. 
Beside the standard bowls, there are special tables at the end for two silent auctions and higher purchase bowls requiring an extra donation.
Dozens of volunteers collected trash, guided people around and held up bowls to encourage people to take them. 		Crowd gathered along the tables.

Silent auction table with premium bowls behind. Premium bowls table, if it says $40, add $15 to your $25 admission.
Meanwhile, on the lower levels, the many restaurants donating food, including many soups, were keeping the crowd going.

And this is the bowl (very shallow, more like a plaque) that I chose.  It will go on the wall. The shallow plaque like bowl that I choose.

EMPTY BOWLS is a donation program where woodworkers, pottery, and glass workers make bowls which are donated.  These bowls will be chosen in Dallas' Meyerson Symphony Hall Lobby and Ft. Worth Bass Hall Lobby by people making a $25 donation and area restaurants will donate soup (served in plastic bowls) as part of the Annual Empty Bowls Luncheon. Bowl makers will be noted on a poster at the luncheon.
