A curated selection of ceramic works from the Ceramics Social will be available for early online bidding, starting Thursday, May 28 at 12 pm! These one-of-a-kind functional pieces are just a preview of what’s to come. The full auction will take place in person at the event.
The Everson’s Signature Fundraising Event
We are excited to invite you to The Ceramics Social, the Everson Museum of Art’s signature fundraising event. This special evening is a celebration of ceramics, the Everson, and the arts in Central New York, offering an exciting and unique experience for all who attend.
Since opening, Louise Café has given guests the opportunity to dine on stunning functional ceramics from the Rosenfield Collection, leaving many wondering, “How can I own one of these pieces?” Now, at The Ceramics Social, they will have their chance! The highlight of the evening is a silent auction featuring handmade ceramic works from talented artists across the country, giving attendees the opportunity to start or expand their own collections.
The auction will also feature artwork by Arlene Abend, generously donated by her daughter Tema Abend. All proceeds will benefit the Arlene Abend Artistic Fund, which aims to support and inspire women in the arts.
Beyond the auction, guests will enjoy a live pottery demonstration, the opportunity to try a hands-on throwing experience, food stations from Catering by Michaels, as well as an evening of creativity, conversation, and connection — all while supporting the Everson’s mission to make art accessible to all. Proceeds from the event directly fund the Museum’s exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach efforts, ensuring that the Everson continues to be a leader in the arts.

At the event, guests can participate in our Wine Pull for $25 per ticket and take home a mystery bottle of wine valued between $10 and $200. Simply select a numbered ticket at random, then redeem it at the end of the evening to reveal your surprise bottle. Every ticket wins!
