What Does Clay & Moonlight Support?

When we say everything, we mean it! Every dollar raised — through sponsorships, the paddle raise, and beyond — goes directly back into the Clay Center: its people, its programs, and the community they serve.

Event proceeds fund the full life of the Clay Center, from clay, glazes, and kiln maintenance to artist stipends, scholarships, and all of the people who keep the wheels turning. They sustain our classes, workshops, artist residency, exhibitions, community events, and outreach programs that bring people of all ages and backgrounds into meaningful connection with clay.

Our community is at the heart of everything we do, and we rely on your generosity to remain accessible to all. Thank you for making it all possible!

This summer, Thursdays a la cART invites families and adults alike to create together through hands-on creativity in the Learning Lab and galleries of the Powers Art Center. Inspired by the bold works of Jasper Johns and Roy Lichtenstein, discover, make, and get inspired!
