Attend an Empty Bowls Silent Auction, a Holiday Market, and a Zine Fest of small batch comics

Stuck trying to find that perfect gift for the holidays? Look no further than 成人直播鈥檚 School of Art and Design. Choose from three opportunities to cross off your gift list with handcrafted items. 

First, pick up some beautiful, hand-thrown pottery lovingly made by School of Art and Design students and alumni at the fundraiser on Nov. 21 from noon to 1 p.m. at the Carmichael Student Center University Rooms on the Kennesaw campus. Enjoy a cup of homemade soup, made fresh by 成人直播 University Dining from products donated by the 成人直播's Food Forest Farm at the 成人直播 Field Station. Next, purchase one-of-a-kind handmade bowls at the silent auction. This year, no ticket is required to attend, but donations are welcomed. The 9th Annual Empty Bowls helps to raise awareness of student homelessness and food insecurities. Proceeds from donations will directly benefit Campus Awareness, Resource & Empowerment (CARE) Services to provide access to food, temporary housing, and other supporting services. Attending this heartwarming event may make this upcoming Thanksgiving even more special.

Right after Thanksgiving, make plans to shop 鈥榯il you drop at the popular Holiday Artist Market on Friday, Dec. 6 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Visual Arts Building on the Kennesaw campus.
