In honor of its Cheers to 10 Years theme, ceramic drinking vessels will be sold along with handcrafted bowls at this year’s SOUP! event.

 

The purchase of a bowl for $15, or a tumbler for $20, entitles buyers to a complimentary and hot soup-and-bread buffet on Saturday, February 6, 2016, from 11am-3pm. Proceeds from the sale of the dishwasher, microwave and oven -safe items will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Door County and Peninsula School of Art’s free Children’s Outreach programs.

SOUP! is a community-wide effort, with over 500 school children and adults creating and decorating bowls with original designs and brightly-colored glazes. The tumblers were thrown by Door County potter Adam Hutchinson and decorated by area artists. Door County Potters’ Guild members will also contribute “celebrity” bowls and drinking vessels for sale.

Food for SOUP! is donated by both Door County chefs and individuals. A special section on the event’s soup line caters to children’s favorites like homemade chicken noodle.

According to PenArt executive director, Cathy Hoke, SOUP! exemplifies the spirit of giving in Door County.

“All ages of the community come together to help their neighbors in need,” she says. “For the past 10 years, the hundreds of volunteers who create bowls, make delicious food, and serve those who enjoy the buffet have ensured the success of SOUP!. We anticipate that they will continue to do so in the future.”

Peninsula School of Art is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the visual arts through education, exhibitions and community outreach. Peninsula School of Art and Guenzel Gallery are located at 3900 County Hwy F, in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Winter hours (Nov.-April) are Tuesday through Saturday, 8am-5pm. For more information about Peninsula School of Art workshops, exhibitions, and community programs, call 920-868-3455 or email info@PeninsulaSchoolofArt.org
