Empty Tables to Support Food Insecurity on the Plateau
Empty Tables seeks local artists to donate pieces for its booth at the upcoming annual Tennessee Craft South Holiday Studio Tour Dec. 6-7.
The studio tour is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST on Saturday, Dec. 6, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 7. Empty Tables will be at Sewanee’s American Legion Hall.
Empty Tables, launched by Claire Reischman on behalf of Tennessee Craft South five years ago, shares all proceeds with organizations that address food insecurity on the South Cumberland Plateau. Funds raised this year will be distributed to the Grundy County Food Bank in Coalmont, the Community Action Committee in Sewanee, and Morton Memorial United Methodist Church in Monteagle.
Artists interested in donating pieces to the Empty Tables Project should contact Lee Limbird by text/phone (615) 630-9196 or <llimbird95@gmail.com>. Set-up will begin at 4 p.m., Friday, Dec. 5, at the American Legion Hall, Sewanee, but arrangements can be made to pick up art in advance.
