Mark-et your calendars. The 19th Annual Potters Market at the Mint Museum Randolph returns to the Queen City on Saturday, Sept. 27, from 9 to 4 p.m.

The one-day event brings together 50+ top-tier artists from across North Carolina — including 33 artists from Western NC, where Hurricane Helene destroyed studios in the River Arts District.

Tickets start at $25, with proceeds supporting The Mint’s arts education programs. Guests can expect live pottery demos, food trucks, a beer garden, plus the chance to shop hand-crafted ceramics directly from the artists.

New this year, the market will honor longtime supporters Peggy and Bob Culbertson with an award for the Best New Exhibitor.

“This event is a beloved tradition that not only celebrates North Carolina’s rich pottery heritage but also supports working artists and helps further The Mint Museum’s mission to make art accessible to all,” said Todd Herman, PhD, president and CEO of The Mint Museum.
