Hand in Hand:
You Gave, They Matched!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Hand in Hand community and matching funds from an anonymous donor, we surpassed our fundraising goal and raised over $205,000, a Hand in Hand record!

This funding allows for even more programs in the community, more support for our Resident Artists, more scholarships for youth and adults, more access to the healing power of clay, and ensures that anyone who wants to experience clay can join us.

It also means that Clay Art Center continues to be a strong, vital, ceramic center in which to learn, explore creativity, and build community and connections. Thank you for your essential support!
