Artful Bowl is back this June.
The event, hosted by Platform Art , is set to take place on June 26 at Mirrorton . This will be the first public event occurring at the new complex. Artful Bowl will serve as a fundraiser in an effort to support the local art community here in Lakeland.
The details of the event describe it as a “casual gala” and will feature performance art, entertainment, food, drinks, and networking. Like previous Artful Bowl events, visitors will walk away with a ceramic bowl, handmade by local artist Randy Glotfelty of Jen-Ken Kilns .
In addition to its support of public art, the team behind the event also is in support of the Friends of Freedom monument
— a bronze sculpture designed by Becky Ault of Art Research Enterprises, Inc.
, in commemoration of the Spanish-American War. It memorializes the Buffalo Soldiers once stationed in Lakeland + will be installed at Veterans’ Memorial Park
next year.
