“We've never seen him so proud as the moment he unwrapped each item and talked through his inspiration for each piece.”
- Summer Camp Scholarship Parent
You can help us shape someone’s future.
Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, Clay Art Center has awarded nearly 10,000 scholarships over 15 years, empowering both youth and adult students to participate in classes, workshops, and summer camps. These scholarships offer students of all ages a safe, inclusive space to explore their imagination and become part of a welcoming community that celebrates the joy of creativity. With your support, we can continue to give students the chance to learn, grow, and flourish.
Your Impact
“Clay is an outlet for me to get back to the person I once was. It is my time to play—to create art in a way that I don’t really have to think about it. I get to enjoy my time creating whimsical, playful pieces, and I never really know what I’m going to make. That’s the magic of it—it’s a blank slate.”
- Adult Scholarship Student
Your support means we are able to pay it forward everyday—giving students the tools, guidance, and inspiration they need to unlock their potential.
You can invest in creativity.
In 2024, support from you and others helped make our camps, classes, and programs available to everyone. Because of you, last year we awarded over 800 youth and adults scholarships, and a chance to discover their creativity.
Your gift can change lives.
“Clay was a very important part of my life when I was growing up. I feel so proud that my parents gave me the gift of art and thought it was important to have in one's life. I want to pay it forward.”
