On **Wednesday August 12th,** **explore the International Ceramic Art Fair** (ICAF) before it leaves the Gardiner Museum on August 16th! The ICAF is the Gardiner Museum’s biennial celebration of innovation and contemporary directions in ceramics, inviting visitors to discover how the boundaries of craftsmanship are being redefined in clay. ICAF 2026 has been expanded from a 10-day event to a 12-week exhibition and public program exploring how ceramics is evolving across art, design, and emerging technologies. At the heart of this year’s edition is the theme “the city and the commons,” presenting ceramics as both material and method for examining how we live together in rapidly changing cities. From architecture to infrastructure, ceramics shelter, connect, and ground us, offering new ways to think about belonging, resilience, and shared space. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves contemporary art. **Additional Exhibits** * In Search of Imperfection: The Macdonald Collection of Japanese and Japanese-Inspired Ceramics * Highways of Harlan House **COST** Free Admission Meetup fee: $5 *** **SIGNING-UP** * **Simply RSVP Yes confirming if you will join for food/drinks after** * RSVPs close 1 day prior, and cancellations after will result in a No Show and impact future attendance. * You can also just show up and join us at the event meetup spot and time * A reminder will go out the day before with my cell and details when to meet, etc. ‐‐----‐----‐‐-------------‐----------- **MEETUP TIME** **Meet me at 6pm** **inside the entrance of The Gardiner Museum at 111 Queen's Park.** We will then head over to the ICAF exhibit at the Special Exhibition Hall on the 3rd Floor.
