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 20 to 25, 2025, the fair is part of a strategic calendar, coinciding with other major contemporary art events in Paris (Design Miami, 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.

As part of its cultural program, Ceramic Art Fair + Glass presents a guided
sculptural visit, Hors les murs, hosted in the gardens of the Maison de
l’Amérique Latine. This outdoor visit brings together contemporary artists and
galleries around monumental sculptures in which glass and ceramics engage
in a dialogue between opacity and transparency.
For this edition, artists are invited to present works conceived in situ or in
harmony with the natural space. Through works involving Fire, Earth, and Glass,
this ensemble of sculptures celebrates the richness of the arts of fire.
Presented to the public for the first time, these pieces explore the essential role
of sculpture in public spaces and offer a contemporary interpretation of these
two time-honored mediums.
Through this presentation, Ceramic Art Fair + Glass reaffirms its commitment
to supporting contemporary art.
This visit will be held daily at 2:30 p.m.
