Empty Bowls Detroit

Empty Bowls is a globally recognized community art and food initiative that brings people together to raise funds and awareness around food insecurity. Leading up to the event, artists and studios across Michigan are hosting bowl-making events, uniting communities statewide in a shared effort rooted in generosity and care.

Culinary artists are also central to the Empty Bowls mission. Detroit’s most respected chefs, restaurants, and food leaders have been invited to participate by preparing food that reflects the creativity and caliber of our city’s culinary scene.

All ticket sale proceeds will go to Gleaners Community Food Bank, with additional funds supporting local nonprofit organizations working to strengthen food access across Metro Detroit, addressing both immediate hunger relief and the long-term health of our regional food system.

There are two event entry times:

• 11 am – 1:30 pm
• 2:30 pm – 5 pm
