CERAMIC ART FAIR+GLASS
The concept
Ceramic Art Fair’s ambition is to promote the art of ceramics and glass, by providing a forum for international artists and galleries to meet and exchange ideas. The committee, comprising curators, gallerists, journalists and architects, are brought together by their shared passion for ceramics, will ensure a selection of exceptional quality.
Ceramic Art Fair is an annual event for art lovers, collectors and enthusiasts. Participating in the Ceramic Art Fair entails taking part in Paris’ contemporary art week. Opening its doors from October 21 to 25, 2025, the fair is part of a strategic calendar, coinciding with other major contemporary art events in Paris (Design Miami, Thema, Art Basel, Moderne Art Fair and more). This synergy guarantees Ceramic Art Fair an international audience, involving private and institutional collectors, museum curators, art dealers and art lovers from all over the world.
The choice of venue, the Maison de l’Amérique latine, perfectly illustrates the meaning the Ceramic Art Fair wishes to convey for the notion of “modern art”. It’s not simply a question of choosing recent creations, but of finding modernity through the ages. The sole criterion, transgressing styles and eras, is the expression of creative genius translated into the vibrant work of the material.

The piece should align with the criteria set by the jury for creativity, technical skill, and aesthetic quality.
