Demand Humanity
Handmade Cup and Mug Exhibit
December 3, 2026
Demand Humanity Cup and Mug Exhibit celebrates handmade ceramic cups and mugs created by local and national artists. The exhibition is open to ceramicists working in any handcrafting method—whether wheel-thrown or hand-built—so long as each piece is handmade. Juried by artist, designer, and mega–social media influencer Oscar Yacaun, the show highlights craftsmanship, creativity, and the intimate relationship between maker and object. The exhibit will be featured as part of the Evanston Made First Saturday Holiday arts events in December.
