International Ceramic Art Fair 2026
The Gardiner Museum presents the return of the International Ceramic Art Fair (ICAF), its biennial celebration of innovation and contemporary directions in ceramics, running May 28 to August 16, 2026. At the heart of this year’s edition is the theme “the city and the commons,” presenting ceramics as both material and method for examining how we live together in rapidly changing cities. From architecture to infrastructure, ceramics shelter, connect, and ground us, offering new ways to think about belonging, resilience, and shared space.
How do we nurture communal relationships amidst dramatic change? How can the intelligence of ceramics inform how we navigate cosmopolitan life? How can new approaches to ceramic technology re-shape the ways we live together?
Discover the works on view and participate in programming that explores these and other questions.
Visitors 18 and under, students with valid ID, and Gardiner friends get free admission!
