Join us for the 2025 Ruthmere Ceramic Showcase!

The 2025 Ruthmere Ceramic Showcase is set for Saturday, July 12th from 10 – 3pm on the Ruthmere Quilt Garden Green. The Ceramic Showcase once again has Jack and Karen Cittadine as our Presenting Sponsors, making it FREE ADMISSION for all to attend. Ruthmere’s partnership with the Northern Indiana Clay Alliance (NICA) was a remarkable success in 2024, and one that is building this event bigger and better in 2025!

NICA is an arts-focused organization that coordinates several events throughout the year which bring exceptional clay artists together with the public in unique gatherings. The Ceramic Showcase is one of Ruthmere’s busiest marquis events of the year with many hundreds in attendance. Artists will compete prize money in several categories through the Wade Mayberry Prize Awards! 

NEW for 2025 will be the addition of a craft beer and wine tent in the afternoon hours of 1-3pm, as well as live music from The Erly, keeping the summer vibes warm and breezy. Enjoy a complimentary cup of coffee in the morning, purchase lunch on site from Ricky's Taqueria, and for those 21 and over, chill with an ice cold locally crafted beer or wine as you venture through four spacious tents of amazing clay creations. It is a fun day for everyone, and of course, a great place to purchase a one-of-a-kind ceramic work of art.
