The big game is on Sunday, but the Lawrence Arts Center is holding a “Souper Bowl” event of its own this Saturday. The Souper Bowl Saturday event will benefit the ceramics department at the Arts Center through the sale of ceramic bowls and an auction of guest artwork, says Ben Ahlvers, associate education director of the Arts Center. Ahlvers says guests who buy the ceramic bowls will also receive lunch with their purchase including soup and a side of bread. The bowls range in price from $10 to $30.
“Most of them are made by instructors and some of our students and then we also have local potters that donate and I have some folks from other parts of the country that have sent in some things,” Ahlvers says.
The “Big Game” not for you? Go to the Lawrence Arts Center’s Souper Bowl Saturday this weekend for some soup, a side of bread and a bowl to take home.
Ahlvers also says the Arts Center is auctioning two art pieces from guest artists at the event. He says the pieces will be on display until Saturday, which will be the final day of bidding.
Ahlvers says the event continues to become a bigger deal each year. “I think the quality gets better and better each year so it’s really evolving into something, in my opinion, a pretty high caliber sale,” Ahlvers says.
