This fall, as HCCC marks 25 years of illuminating contemporary craft, Asher: Off the Wall proudly presents The Candle Show, exploring the ritual and material poetics of candlelight. This exciting show and sale brings together artists who shape light itself with handcrafted candelabras, holders, and wax-based forms. On view in our retail space, The Candle Show features work from a curated selection of artists working in clay, glass, and wax, including candles and candelabras by Gabo Martinez, Jessica Ninci, Meryl Pataky, and more. Stay tuned for the full list of participating artists!
The Candle Show is open during public hours at HCCC (Tuesday – Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM).
