From wine and whiskey cups to flasks and goblets, the 6th Annual Vessels of Merriment exhibition at Grovewood Gallery will feature handcrafted drinking vessels by 16 potters from across the country. This ceramic invitational will kick off with an opening reception on Saturday, November 9, from 2 to 5 pm. This event is free to attend and open to the public. Vessels of Merriment will remain on view through December 31, 2024.

This beloved annual exhibition, a favorite among both staff and customers, celebrates the artistry of ceramic vessels crafted for drinking, serving, and storing your favorite libations. We hope these handcrafted pieces truly capture the heart and dedication of the talented artists who create them. With all artwork available for purchase, this exhibition offers the perfect opportunity for finding unique holiday gifts.

Hurricane Flood Relief for RADA

At the opening reception, we will be accepting cash donations for flood relief for the River Arts District Association. The District has been decimated by historic flooding. Most of their 26 buildings, including art and the supplies and equipment used by creators, experienced catastrophic destruction. If you can’t make the opening reception but would like to make a donation, you can do so here: Flood Relief for RADA.

Parking

Grovewood Village offers free on-site parking; however, parking is relatively limited, and carpooling is always encouraged. Additional parking is available in our restaurant parking lot.
