The Simple Cup showcases contemporary interpretations of the cup. This year we are expecting over 300 cups from artists across the country and Japan! Our Opening Night event on November 2nd, is all about the cup lottery sale, which allows everyone to have a fair chance to buy one of their favorite cups (scroll down for more details). Join us in our 13th year of this annual tradition.
