International Cup 2026 is an exhibition showcasing ceramic work that explores the infinite possibilities of the idea of a cup. Included works range from well-crafted utilitarian mugs to cups used as an exploration of metaphor and abstract content. Works by 31 artists have been selected from entries from all around the world. This year’s exhibit was juried by Julia Galloway, a locally based but internationally renowned utilitarian potter and professor of ceramics at the University of Montana. Julia has exhibited across the United States, Canada, and Asia. Her work is included in the collections of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Museum, Long Beach Art Museum, the Ceramics Research Center at the Arizona State Art Museum, the Alfred Ceramics Art Museum at Alfred University, the Dinnerware Museum in Ann Arbor Michigan, and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. Julia received the University of Montana Distinguished Scholar award in 2018. She was also awarded a United States Artist Grant and named the 2023 Artist of the Year by the Ceramics Arts Network and Ceramics Monthly publication. Julia also received the Arts Missoula Individual Arts Award and a lifetime appointment to the Council for National Council for the Education of the Ceramic Arts (NCECA).
