WHAM Art Center will hold its 11th annual Bowls of Hope sale and holiday celebration to raise money and awareness to help eliminate hunger in the West Valley.
The event will occur from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7 at the WHAM Art Center, 16560 N. Dysart Road.
Over 500 one-of-a-kind food safe glazed bowls will be available for sale in an open-air bazaar and art sale held in front of the gallery. The price for each bowl ranges from $12 to $15.
“We look forward to this event every year,” said Connie Whitlock, executive director of WHAM. “We get to showcase the great art made here by local artists and give back to the community on so many levels … including providing great holiday gifts made by local artists.”
Other art will also be available for sale. Inside the Gallery will be the display of juried pictures from the Arizona Professional Photographers Association.
Current statistics show that more families are at risk for hunger and homelessness. The proceeds from the sale will once again go directly to support local charities including St. Mary’s Food Bank and Eve’s Place Community Services, Homeless Youth Connection, StreetLight USA, All Faith Community Services and the Valley View Community Food Bank.
“In the past 11 years, over a thousand people from all over the Valley have come to this event to purchase these unique bowls to benefit these charities,” Whitlock said. “We want the community to know that WHAM Art Center is a community gallery, and there are over 13 outreach programs and dozens of classes held right here.”
