The St. George Art Museum is inviting locals to its 18th annual Soup N' Bowl Fundraiser, an event cherished by art lovers and residents alike.

Set for March 1, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., guests can choose a unique, handcrafted ceramic bowl, savor a warming lunch, and enjoy live music and artisan vendors at the museum on 47 E 200 N, St. George.

Admission is $20 per person, with tickets available both in person and online. The event often sells out early, so advance purchase is encouraged for bowl selection.

Each bowl is handmade during the annual Community Pot Throw, hosted on January 2, 2026, at the St. George Recreation Center—making every bowl a piece of local creativity.

All proceeds help sustain and grow the art museum’s vital programs across St. George.
