Opening Night • Early Access • Community Celebration
The Winterfest Preview Party on November 12 is your festive, ticketed kickoff to the season — and your only chance to experience Winterfest before anyone else. You’ll enjoy first access to the Winterfest 2026 Exhibition, our nationally curated invitational featuring leading contemporary ceramic artists, as well as early entry to the Winterfest Holiday Market, where local and associated artists offer a wide range of work.
During the Preview Party, you can explore the galleries at your own pace, connect with fellow supporters and ceramics lovers, and purchase work from both the exhibition and the market before Winterfest opens to the public. Every piece is available for same‑day purchase and pickup, giving you the rare opportunity to secure your favorite works — from high‑caliber exhibition pieces to locally made treasures — all in one evening.
