Mostra Mercato 2026
Cèramica returns to Montelupo Fiorentino in 2026, and applications are now open for exhibitors wishing to participate in the next edition, scheduled for December.
The 2025 edition of Cèramica achieved results that make us particularly proud:
-
58 ceramics artists at the event;
-
over 250 participants in the Cèramica OPEN STUDIO International Award, hailing from 20 countries;
-
10,500 visitors to the themed exhibitions;
-
significant visibility on social media (over 1,180,000 views on the Facebook page alone);
-
extensive national television coverage, with dedicated segments on Rai and Mediaset networks, including Studio Aperto;
-
significant attention from national press, with in-depth articles published by leading publications such as Interni (Mondadori) and Domus;
-
a high level of satisfaction expressed by the exhibitors and the business owners who took part in the event.
The 2026 edition, dedicated to the theme “Fabbrica Novecento,” will take place over three weekends—5–8, 12–13, and 19–20 December—and it will bring the ceramics trade-exhibition to the city’s historic center, along with art exhibitions, international workshops, and the “Open Studio” Award.
For the 2026 edition, a promotional fair has been planned, reserved for VAT-registered exhibitors and separated from an event that will be exclusively dedicated to non-professional ceramists, which will be held in a distinct area.
This decision incorporates the feedback and suggestions that emerged at the conclusion of the last edition, and it aims to further consolidate and improve the event. In particular, it seeks to make the exhibition itinerary more structured and appealing, as well as to ensure a high level of quality in the exhibits, while also encouraging broad participation by professional manufacturers and artists, designers, and enthusiasts of self-produced ceramics from Italy and abroad.
The terms and conditions for participation are available in the related open calls for applications attached hereto:
