Empty Bowls

The 2026 "Empty Bowls" event will be held on Wednesday, October 14 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Deadwood Social Club. Empty Bowls is a soup kitchen type project where artists, along with students from Lead Deadwood High School, Spearfish High School & Black Hills State University, have donated handmade pottery bowls. Participants buy a bowl for $15 (kids $10) and fill with soup donated by the Deadwood Social Club. All funds raised will be donated to the local food banks. Black Hills State University photography club, "Shutterbuzz," will have a silent auction of student photography with half the proceeds donated to the local food banks. For more information, please call the Lead Deadwood Arts Center at 605-584-1461 or email leaddeadwoodartscenter@gmail.com. The Deadwood Social Club is located at 657 Main Street, Deadwood.
