Timed with the lead-up to Houston’s world championship soccer matches, Cups for Y’all is a celebratory showcase of contemporary cups—from coffee mugs and tea chawan to ceremonial goblets—exploring how the enduring vessel form continues to evolve through material, use, and imagination.
Spanning the center gallery and a full-wall installation in our retail space, Asher: Off the Wall, this combined show and sale promises to be a destination shopping experience—featuring work from a curated selection of local, national, and international artists across a variety of media and offering something for collectors at every level. Cups for Y’all includes vessels by artists such as Maxwell Mustardo, Jihyun Kim, Maranda Powers, Emily Yong Beck, and many more! See the full list below.
Cups for Y’All is open during public hours at HCCC (Tuesday – Saturday, 10am – 5pm). As always, HCCC members save 10% on retail, exhibition, and studio sales (some exclusions apply).
