Empty Bowls, the Arkansas Foodbank’s signature event, is fast approaching and preparations are well underway. In its 13th year, Empty Bowls is dedicated to raising awareness about hungry Arkansans and raising the funds to do something about it.
The event, chaired by Anton and Jillian Janik, takes place at Thursday, April 23, at Next Level Events in Little Rock. It all kicks off at 5:30 p.m. with emcee Tom Brannon from THV 11. Guests will be treated to an extensive menu featuring some of their favorite central Arkansas eateries, and then will browse the extensive art auction complete with paintings, drawings, pottery and more.
But this year, the night doesn’t end with Empty Bowls is over. Once the live auction ends at 7:30 p.m., that’s when the after party begins. (It’s called Full Glasses, because of course it is.) Food, drinks and live music will be a-plenty to keep the celebration going.
Tickets are on sale now and available here. Your Empty Bowls ticket will automatically get you into Full Glasses, or you can buy tickets just for the after party. For more information on the Arkansas Foodbank and Empty Bowls, click here.
