Here’s What’s Happening Next
ACS So Cal Clay Festival & Gift Show
May 2nd & 3rd 2026
Calling all ceramic artists!
Join us at our annual fundraiser at the Los Angeles Arboretum. Purchase a table or a booth to sell your ceramic art at this beautiful venue. Booth fees are the main generator of funds for ACS So Cal each year.
As a non-profit, we sincerely appreciate your participation!
Members receive early access for registration beginning March 1! All ceramic artists are welcome! Non-member registration opens March 21st.
We will have a waiting list if space is sold out.
Every artist should have a chance to have their work in a gallery. The Presidents’ Show was created just for this.
The Presidents’ Show 2026
September 26 - November 7
The 2025 Show was a great success! Nearly half of the members who entered pieces sold their work. Many of those were brand new members!
All members are guaranteed one piece in the show and may submit up to 3 entries. Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to exhibit your work at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts in Ojai, California.
Keep an eye out later this year for call for entries. Meanwhile, keep creating!
