Empty Bowls 2026

February 2026: Empty Bowls returned to the Hilton Central School District! 5th and 6th grade artists from all 3 elementary schools created bowls for this charity event, connecting service to others and the artistic process! Money was raised for Heifer International and the Hilton Cadet Cupboard, organizations that devote resources to brining food and meals to those in need. A great crowd came out to Village Elementary, previous host of the 2020 show, with families and artists from Northwood and Quest, and from all parts of our community coming as well! Check out some images below and thanks for supporting our artists, and the great causes!
