This show will feature the work of some of the finest potters in the United States and beyond. Additionally, many aspiring potters and art students will also be involved. The exhibition will include a selection of posters from The Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles that will help frame the issues of hunger and food security as ones of social justice. Proceeds from the sale of the bowls will be gifted to several local and national organizations working to end hunger. Plans are to utilize the exhibition as a six week long forum on social justice.

Another part of this show will be a display of Heroes bowls decorated by our heroes, role models and mentors active in social justice work. The list of heroes participating thus far includes Joan Baez, Grace Lee Boggs, Jim Bristah, Dr. Helen Caldicott, Joe Crachiola, W.
