<h3>Clay Art Center presents our&nbsp;Empty Bowls Fundraiser, in partnership&nbsp;with Rye Presbyterian Church</h3>
<h3>Sunday, April 21, 11am-12:30pm,&nbsp;at Rye Presbyterian Church, 882 Boston Post Road, Rye NY 10580</h3>
<h3>Feed the hungry by purchasing unique handmade ceramic bowls made by over 50 Clay Art Center artists and students. This year, all proceeds will be donated to the Don Bosco Community Center. </h3>
Clay Art Center is helping raise awareness about food insecurity and hunger in Westchester during our biennial Empty Bowls fundraiser. For more than 20 years Clay Art Center has mobilized hundreds of community members and artists to create thousands of handmade ceramic bowls in partnership with the Rye Presbyterian Church. Join us at the Empty Bowls fundraiser held at Rye Presbyterian Church on April 21, at 11am to purchase these beautifully crafted bowls made by more than 50 Clay Art Center artists and students. Take home a unique bowl and enjoy warm, comforting soup provided by the Sabin Meyer Corporation, free with your purchase of a bowl. Together, with Rye Presbyterian Church and a host of volunteers, we have raised over $75,000 in the fight to end hunger in Westchester County. 
Clay Art Center Executive Director, Emily Peck shares, “We are proud to participate in Empty Bowls as our way of giving back to the Port Chester community by raising money to support food organizations. Please join us by purchasing a handcrafted bowl and help families in need in Port Chester.”
As part of Clay Art Center’s partnership with Rye Presbyterian Church for this community service, Clay Art Center provides the church’s youth group with a free workshop, where the children have the opportunity to make bowls that will be offered up for sale at the fundraiser. You can find these alongside the handmade bowls by CAC's artists and students. The youth group also helps run the event by creating the signs, helping to set up, and collecting the money for the bowl sales.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to raise both money and awareness in the fight to end hunger.

Crawford Mansion

The Crawford Park Winter Concert Series presents the Westchester Philharmonic String Quartet performing: Beethoven: String Quartet No. 4 in C Minor, Op. 18&nbsp;Ravel: String Quartet on&nbsp;April 21, 2pm at Crawford Mansion.
Beethoven rarely composed in the key of C Minor, except for two of his most celebrated works: His “Pathetique” piano sonata, and the Fifth Symphony. This quartet is similarly darkly expressive, fiery, and breathtaking.&nbsp;
Ravel was inspired by Debussy to compose his lone string quartet, and defying his teacher’s wishes, let loose a cascade of brilliance and emotion.
These concerts usually sell out so reserve your tickets early!
Tickets are 25.00 in advance 35.00 at the door

Clay Art Center

<h1>Lydia C. Thompson: Transitions</h1>
<h2>A solo exhibition in the gallery and online at Clay Art Center. April 27th – June 7th, 2024</h2>
<h5>Please join us for an Opening Reception on Saturday, April 27th, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm</h5>
Clay Art Center is pleased to present Lydia C. Thompson: Transitions, a solo exhibition of ceramic sculptures that blends the narratives of urban and rural human migration.
The artist states, “My current research investigates the ideas of migration and residual ancestral memories that examine space and place that reference human existence. Through continuous mobility and the physical process of reduction made by nature, human beings create pathways that explore physical space that may produce visual silence, evoke the imagination, offer notions of commodities and value, and illustrate a sense of desperation that provides insights into various cultural practices and traditions. My works are reminders of the past and current lessons that we need to learn about the persistence and preservation of one’s own culture. My relic series references dilapidated and vacant houses that exist in urban and rural communities. These houses often tell multiple stories about communities that have evolved and changed over time. With this work, I hope to trigger memories that have been suppressed about home loss or evoke emotions that symbolize hope and rejuvenation. It also asks the question of who takes ownership and responsibility for the built environment.”
A hands-on workshop with the artist will take place on Saturday, April 27th from 9am - 4pm. Details and registration are available on our website.
