Portage Ceramic Awards | 2026 Opening and Awards Night

You are warmly invited to join us for the opening and awards ceremony of the Portage Ceramic Awards 2026. Now in its 25th year, the Portage Ceramic Awards celebrates the breadth, creativity and innovation of contemporary ceramics in Aotearoa New Zealand. The exhibition brings together an exciting selection of works by artists working across the medium, reflecting the diverse ways clay continues to be explored, challenged and reimagined. Join us to officially open the exhibition and celebrate the 2026 award winners, announced by this year’s judge, Richard Fahey. Always an evening not to be missed, we hope you can join us to celebrate this significant milestone for the ceramic community in Aotearoa. Proudly supported for 25 years by the Trust Community Foundation and Portage Trust.
