St. George Art Museum hosts Soup N’ Bowl for Art
By Deborah Reeder
On March 1, the St. George Art Museum’s Soup N’ Bowl for Art event will give residents the opportunity to enrich their lives with art, have a lovely luncheon, choose a handcrafted bowl to take home, and support the museum, all at the same time.
Area schools, potters, galleries, and studios all help the museum and show off their skill. A silent auction will give attendees a chance to bid on pottery works of art made by local professional artists including Glen Blakley, Dr. John M. and Suzanne Jennings, Joe Viers, Brady Richardson, Jennifer Vigil, and Worthington Gallery.
Bowls crafted by Blakley, Richardson, Christensen, and Viers and many other local potters will be added to the collection of bowls to choose from at the event as well as others made by students in pottery programs in Washington County high schools and ceramics students at DSU. Bargain bowls for $5 or 3 for $10 will also be available to purchase.
Students are welcome to have lunch and art museum admission for $5. Outside on the patio, music will be performed by Vista Charter Platinum Orchestra, directed by Linda DeLuca.
Past annual Soup N’ Bowl for Art events have raised significant amounts that the museum has used to support displays and purchase paintings for the museum’s permanent collection.
The Professional Pot Throw participants created over 100 beautifully crafted bowls Jan. 26 at DSU’s ceramics department. Thank you to all participants and helpers including Steven Brough, Cynthia Callaghan, Kam Capik, Elsa Picklesimer, Twila Abrams, Carol Lakin, Cindy McKenzie, Shane Christensen, Brady Richardson, Joe Viers, Glen Blakley, Nadene Barish, Jennifer Bell and the Mud Slingers at the City Recreation Center, and the Ceramics Art Club.
Get tickets now or at the door for $25.
