Chili Bowl 2024
Save the Date!
Sunday, Sept. 15
Chili Bowl is our biggest annual fundraiser. This free, family-friendly event is a celebration of art, food, music, and community. There’s live music, chili tastings, beer & cider, hands-on art experiences, plus the Fall Pottery Sale, which is full of handmade items donated by students, staff, and friends of the Studio Arts Boulder.
All proceeds support free and pay-what-you-can programs as well as our partnerships with community members who experience marginalization and face barriers to accessing the studio.

How it works:
Every year, local restaurants generously donate their delicious chili. Visitors purchase handmade ceramic tasting bowls for $20 and each bowl comes with 5 free tastings of chili + 1 vote for the People's Choice award. Then, a panel of dignitary judges do a blind tasting and pick Best Overall chili and Best Vegetarian chili.
Plus, there’s live music, beer & other beverages, hands-on art activities, and the Fall Pottery Sale, where all items are made by staff, students, and friends of Studio Arts Boulder.
