Empty Bowls: Nourishing Hearts & Art in Craven County
Join us in celebrating community, creativity, and compassion at the 2026 New Bern Empty Bowls event. A partnership between Religious Community Services and the Craven Arts Council & Gallery, this uplifting tradition — 16 years in New Bern — brings together local businesses, artisans, and community members to fight hunger and support the arts—all with a bowl of soup and a handmade treasure in hand.
Your Ticket, Your Impact:
With each ticket purchase, you’ll receive:
One handcrafted bowl or home good, lovingly created and donated by local potters and artists.
Two delicious bowls of soup, crafted by local restaurants, schools, and community groups.
The knowledge that your support is helping to nourish our neighbors and inspire the arts in Craven County
