Wildfire Ceramic Studio is excited to announce its 4th Annual 406 Cup Show! This show aims to celebrate and explore the traditional and innovative techniques artists are using to create ceramic cups today. There will be 406 cups on display in honor of the Montana area code, 406! For this exhibition, it is preferred that artists have 3-15 cups to show. 

​

This exhibition will be represented on our website in an online gallery format as well as an in-person exhibit at our brick-and-mortar location in Missoula, MT. We will have an opening reception as part of the Missoula First Friday Art Stroll and additional gallery events for holiday gifting!
