The Empty Bowls Arts Festival will be on Saturday, September 26, 2026. This family event features local musicians, artists, children's activities, a silent auction, a free soup lunch and handmade pottery bowls for purchase. All proceeds raised during the event directly support the Airdrie Food Bank, providing emergency food support to individuals and families in our community.
Pottery Bowls
These exquisite glazed pottery bowls, handcrafted by Bruce, were made during the Calgary Art Market.
Bruce generously donated his time and talents to create these beautiful pieces, which were given to the Airdrie Food Bank for sale at the Empty Bowls Arts Festival.
All proceeds from the festival go directly toward feeding our community, making Bruce's contributions vital to our mission of supporting those in need.
