Ceramics Social 2025

We are excited to invite you to The Ceramics Social, the Everson Museum of Art’s signature fundraising event, inspired by the opening of our new café, Louise. 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 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.

Beyond the auction, guests will enjoy 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.

The Everson is for everyone, a place where community connects and inspiration surrounds you.

The Everson is a museum of firsts. It was the first museum to dedicate itself to the collection of American art, to create a permanent collection of ceramics, to collect video art, to create a docent program and to hire the now internationally known architect I.M. Pei to design its building, a sculptural work of art in its own right. The Everson is home to more than 10,000 works of art: American paintings, sculpture, drawings, video, graphics and one of the largest holdings of international ceramics in the nation.

Thank you to all that participated in the Live Event on April 24th. If you have any questions about picking up an item you have won, please contact jneuner@everson.org.
