Join the community and the artists who make Empty Bowls possible on Sunday, March 8 at the beautiful Icicle Ridge Winery in Peshastin (5:30-7:30pm) for the Upper Valley Empty Bowls (UVEB) Artists' Reception. The event will feature the exquisite 2026 collection of 21 Artist Bowls designed and created by local artists and potters for the UVEB online auction. Each bowl is a work of art, from its creation at the hands of skillful potters, to the hours of time it takes to painstakingly hand paint the designs, and then the final careful firing of the masterpieces. Event attendees will also have a chance to bid on local art and one-of-a-kind sculptures. Please join us for a night of art, community, music, and conversation, complemented by a selection of appetizers and wine.

Following the Artists' Reception, the UVEB Online Auction of the 2026 Artists Bowls will begin, with bidding open from March 9-March 26. Find out more information and how to bid at uvemptybowls.org.

The UVEB Committee looks forward to celebrating this milestone year with you and sharing these unique works of art!
