People flocked to the Hopkins Center for the Arts on Tuesday for the 15^th Annual Empty Bowls fundraiser.

The event, which runs through 7 p.m., raises money for ResourceWest and ICA Foodshelf. People from all over the community first got together for bowl-making events, some of which were taught by school art instructors and local students.

Attendees then make a free will donation; choose their favorite bowl from among 1,000s created by local artists, students and volunteers; enjoy a simple bowl of soup and bread and return home with the bowl.

There is also be musical entertainment, and professional artists have donated bowls and related art for a silent auction.

Last year, students, staff and community potters created 1,022 bowls—helping the event raise $76,117.
