Once again, the Everson Ceramics Social was truly a night to remember!
Held on June 4, 2026 this unique event brought together 175 guests to celebrate the beauty and innovation of ceramics and to support the Everson’s mission of making art accessible to all. Together, we demonstrated the powerful impact of arts in our community, raising over $100,000 to benefit the Everson.
We’re thrilled to share that proceeds from the event will directly fund the Everson’s exhibitions, educational programs, and community outreach efforts. Your participation plays a vital role in ensuring we can continue to deliver meaningful, transformative experiences to audiences of all ages and backgrounds throughout Central New York.
Thank you once again for being a part of this special evening.
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.
