We are beyond excited to host this exhibition. The annual cup show is our way of celebrating our community.

Mugs and cups and the like hold a unique currency for the Craft community. They have been a way of experimenting with material, form, color, functionality, technique, concept. They serve as calling cards, a special form of trade, They are the start to a collection. The mark of a moment, be it at school, a residency, a local studio, an artist visit, a long weekend of wood firing. They measure the reach of our community. The hold our water, wine, coffee, tea, our favorite cocktail, our dirty paint brushes. They start our days and make our nightcap that much sweeter. 

Alma's is so pleased to extend this to our neighbors near and far. We ask you to join us, cheers and toast and celebrate this rich and vast and incredibly talented group of artists. The 2025 show features 120+ artists. Some names are widely known for their masterful craft, some are familiar to just our Richmond friends, for some others this marks a first exhibition, a first potential sale. 

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 19 from 5-9pm.

The entire exhibition will be shoppable online beginning September 20.
