People lined up outside the door
waiting to get into the UNCA art
department's sixth annual Soup-
and-Salad Bowl Sale on Apr. 18.
All proceeds went to benefit the
ceraijTiic? department.
"The food is all pretty much self
jenerated from the art department
students and teachers; it's mostly
all people involved with the ceram-
department. The ceramics de
partment is not fimded at all so we
really have to do our own funding,"
said Rosella Best, a junior art major
ocusing on painting.
"In a way, it's neat because it's self
sustainable, but in another way it's
bad because we don' t get any money
and we have to donate 15-20 bowls
to sell for money for our depart-
At the sale, members of the art
department filled tables and tables
with bowls and mugs of all sizes at
very reasonable prices. It seemed
. like a frenzied race for who could
get the best bowls, and for some,
who could get the most. Once you
picked your bowl(s), you had a
choice of different homemade soups
or salads, which art students and
faculty donated.
The event offered a variety of soups
and stews from chicken noodle soup
to three different kinds of chili,
including a vegetarian chili. People
chose from tons of tasty salads, vary
ing from greens tossed with straw
berries and orange slices, to Greek
salads and all different types of pasta
The soup and salad sale proved
profitable to customers, because
they got a great deal on a handmade
craft, as well as a delicious lunch.
Also, they could feel good about
themselves at the same time for
supporting a worthy cause.
The students priced their own
bowls, most of which cost under
$12. Buying a handmade ceramic
bowl in a gallery might likely be
three times as much as the bowls in
this sale.
More people from the Asheville
community attended than UNCA
students.
"I've been doing the sale for a
couple of years and it's normally
like this," said Sean Fairbridge, an
undeclared sophomore. "There is
another sale we do where we get the
proceeds, and its all our work, and
that’s always jam packed.”
The ceramic department adver
tises all over town to attract mem
bers of the community to the sale,
according to Fairbridge.
As a result of the budget cuts in
North Carolina, various depart
ments have to depend on sales such
as the Soup-and-Salad Bowl Sale as
a major source of funding.
"'The art department doesn't re
ally have any budget right now,”
said Cody Hulme, a junior art ma-
jor.
“Like in sculpture, if someone
breaks a tool they just don't have
any money to replace it."
