Local potters donate their time and talents to throw and hand build bowls, and restaurants from Tuckahoe to Manchester generously contribute their best chili to go head-to-head in a blind taste-test. Chili Champs are decided by both a panel of judges and you!

Join us this October to pick a handmade bowl, sample some chili, enjoy local brews, and listen to live music in VisArts’ backyard. The best part? All proceeds benefit VisArts’ operations and programs.
