CU Empty Bowls: First Pick Celebration

Lied Education Center for the Arts

20th Anniversary VIP Ticketholder Preview Night

Join us Tuesday, Dec. 1 | 5–8 p.m.

For 20 years, Creighton students have shaped clay into something more than bowls — they've shaped a tradition of compassion. The CU Empty Bowls Project has raised support for Siena Francis House since 2006, and this year, we're marking that milestone with something new: an exclusive preview night, just for you. 

CU's Empty Bowls 20th Anniversary
Thanks to Baylee Bennett, BFA’23, for the 20th Anniversary artwork.
