Events & Exhibitions

December 7th 10-5 and December 8th 10-4

Plan to join us to celebrate the 20th year of this beloved community event featuring:

Our Famous Chili Bowls

Our beloved annual Holiday Festival is famous for offering artisan crafted bowls - each a unique, affordable piece of art representing many hours of a ceramic artist’s work as well as their personal style.

When you choose your favorite creation from our wide selection of bowls, the fun is just beginning! Next, we’ll ladle if full of delicious homemade chili and serve it with a side of freshly baked corn bread! That’s how they came to be referred to as chili bowls (although they are an artful way to serve anything you desire).

Scroll through the gallery below to see just a few of this year’s beautiful Chili Bowl creations!
