Clay Art Center is thrilled to present our annual RISING STARS exhibition, a celebration of the accomplishments of our adult, youth, and Community Arts students to showcase their talent and growth.
The exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists, each contributing their unique perspective and creative energy. It provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize and acknowledge the technical skills, creativity, and progress of our adult learners. Additionally, we proudly feature works from our adult and youth learners from our Community Arts Programs. Younger students bring contagious enthusiasm and joy to their clay creations and their playful and imaginative pieces serve as a reminder of the pure delight of working in clay. The exhibition will also showcase the works of our dedicated instructors, whose expert guidance enables our students to flourish. By uniting artists from different programs and levels, Rising Stars ensures that every artist’s voice finds a home in our clay community.
Join us in applauding the hard work and dedication of our students as they share their passion for clay in the Rising Stars exhibition. This event is a testament to the transformative power of education, the growth of artistic skills, and the invaluable community Clay Art Center provides.
About Our Programs
At Clay Art Center, we provide opportunities for the public to engage with clay and educational clay programming. Our programming caters to individuals of all ages and skill levels.
For those looking to dip their toes in the world of clay, our One-Time classes are perfect. These classes allow both adults and youth to try clay for the first time, providing a welcoming and supportive environment for beginners. Participants can explore their creativity and get a taste of the joy that comes with working with clay.
If you're interested in a more comprehensive learning experience, our Weekly Classes are designed to help students develop their skills over an extended period. Led by experienced instructors, these classes offer a structured curriculum in wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques. Students have the opportunity to dive deeper into their artistic practice and foster their creative growth.
In line with our commitment to community engagement, Clay Art Center also offers Community Artsprogramming. Through scholarships and grant-funded programs, we ensure that clay art is accessible to everyone who wants to experience working with clay. We partner with local schools, community centers, and nonprofits to provide both onsite and offsite clay programs. By engaging the community with clay art, we aim to promote inclusivity, cultural enrichment, and personal growth.
To sustain our mission and continue providing these valuable opportunities, Clay Art Center relies on the support of grants, donations, and fundraising efforts. By igniting a passion for clay in everybody, we cultivate an appreciation for the arts and foster a vibrant artistic community.
Students and their work!
