Cup Sale, Holiday Pop-Up at Cranbrook Art Museum

If you love a cup with a good story behind it, the Cranbrook Academy of Art and Cranbrook Art Museum may have one just for you. Every year, graduate students with the Cranbrook Academy of Art Ceramics Department make a variety of cups and mugs for the department’s Cup Sale, which raises funds for department travel and activities. This year’s sale, which runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 14-15, will be a little different because of the coronavirus pandemic and safety protocols but it’ll still feature the same unique variety of cups. Each cup is $25. This year’s sale, which is the 10th annual, will be held inside the Art Lab of Cranbrook Art Museum. Customers will check in at an outdoor tent in the Cranbrook Art Museum parking lot and be escorted to the sale. A Holiday Pop-Up Shop, meanwhile, will also open on the lower level of the museum, featuring uniquely designed and crafted products for the body and the home created by Cranbrook Academy of Art graduates. It will run through Dec. 31. The Cranbrook Art Museum is at 39221 Woodward in Bloomfield Hills.
