The bowl will be used in The Apparatus Room when any customer orders soup from the menu. (Each time an order is placed from the menu, $1 goes towards the Empty Bowls Detroit.) Bring your friends, co-workers, relatives or simply meet other fantastic supports of Empty Bowls Detroit, in the process. The tour will leave at 8:15 p.m., upon the completion of the bowl painting workshop and will return to the hotel at 9:00 p.m.
