A new future is taking shape. Our new building, located in South Kensington, is now under construction. Thanks to your generous support, we successfully raised the funds needed to break ground in January, and despite delays due to the pandemic, the foundations are now poured and we’re on target to finish construction in September 2021. We couldn’t be prouder of this shared accomplishment.
Making Place Matter is an ambitious exhibition, symposium, and publication that will inaugurate The Clay Studio’s newly built home in the South Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, set to open by the end of 2021. As we begin this new chapter in our own history, the idea of ‘place’ takes on critical importance. Building a resonant conversation between clay artists and the community in our new gallery, Making Place Matter will be organized around the complex meanings of place in our contemporary social conversation.
The Clay Studio believes that access to artistic expression through ceramics should be available to all regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or ability. When in alignment with our mission, we empower marginalized groups to take part in our programming and join our staff and board.
