Souper Bowl Sunday

I know it is only November but this Sunday, November 17, you can enjoy a wonderful late afternoon/early evening gathering with friends and family and support two worthy organizations at the same time.  From 4:30 – 7pm Guilford Art Center invites guests to come and share a hearty bowl of soup, fresh bread, dessert and a glass of wine with the proceeds providing funding for the Community Dining Room, Branford and Guilford Art Center.  Each diner will also be able to select the bowl of their choice from the many that have been hand made by GAC potters.  These bowls are yours to keep and will be washed and dried for you to take home.  A special added extra for this Sunday event is that you can come early or stay after your meal for some holiday shopping at Guilford Art Center’s annual Artistry: American Crafts for the Holidays.  Along with your one-of-a-kind soup bowl you can handpick those one-of a kind gifts crafted by 250 artists from across America.  Gifts include ceramics, glass, jewelry, fiber, ornaments, accessories, toys, specialty foods, candles and more.  This year’s Artistry will feature scores of new artists and new works but also welcomes back many returning artists.  Shoppers will have a huge array of unique gift ideas to choose from.  So score a touchdown this weekend by lending your support to the Community Dining Room committed to serving the shoreline community by feeding the hungry and helping with other basic human needs; Guilford Art Center’s educational and community programs which nurture and support excellence in the arts through education communication and outreach; and the many artists whose work is included in Artistry!  Tickets for the Soup for Good event are $30 in advance and may be purchased here.  Tickets  are $35 at the door.
