VisArts Chili Throwdown
11th Annual VisArts Chili Throwdown
Presented by TowneBank
Friday, October 3, 6–8pm
SOLD OUT
The perfect kick-off to fall, the annual VisArts Chili Throwdown brings together Richmond’s art- and food-lovers to celebrate clay, community, and (of course) chili. 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. We invite our supporters 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.
Chili champs are decided by both a panel of judges and you! Get your tickets today and get ready for this feel-good fundraiser.
