Simcoe, ON – February 21, 2014 – On the eve of spring, Thursday, March 20th the Norfolk Arts Centre will hold its annual SoupART Bowls event. Now in its 6th year, SoupART Bowls is a “friend-raising” event meant to bring together and highlight the creativity of the visual and culinary arts in Norfolk County. Central to the success of the event are its community partners: the Norfolk Potters’ Guild who donates over 250 handcrafted ceramic bowls and the respected Norfolk County restaurants and bistros that contribute their original soup recipes. All proceeds from this event are directed to the Norfolk Arts Centre’s education programming to support the delivery of children, youth and adult programs.

With the purchase of ticket patrons get to select an original ceramic bowl made by a member of the Norfolk Potters’ Guild, a SoupART Bowls cookbook that features recipes from the participating establishments and the chance to spend a leisurely evening wandering through the galleries sampling soups from some of Norfolk County’s best restaurants. Beverages from local producers will also be available.

While satisfying their appetite, patrons can cast their vote for “favourite soup” and “friendliest soup station,” view the current exhibitions Concepts in Context and At Last (Billie Holiday version) and mingle with friends and family. Up the ante by entering your name in a draw for a door prize courtesy of the Potters’ Guild or purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win an amazing prize from a local artist or business. Light entertainment will round out the evening.

There are two services: Service 1: 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. and Service 2: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $30 (10% discount for NAC members). Tickets sell out quickly and are held with payment only. Patrons can purchase tickets by visiting the Norfolk Arts Centre at 21 Lynnwood Ave, Simcoe.
