The American Museum of Ceramic Art is fundraising for our first-ever capital campaign to raise $2,000,000 for a facility upgrade that will transform and strengthen AMOCA’s ambitious education, community, and family programs.

Your support will help complete the construction of our expanded Education Hall, our new Kids Makerspace, a Collection Study room, a Curatorial Preparation Space, a Reading Lounge, and new, accessible bathrooms.

So far, we have completed the first phase of gutting the 7,000+ square foot area, moved the library to the second floor, and installed the first of two ramps connecting Armstrong Gallery to Gallery B and the new Education Hall. We are now working on physical construction of the interior spaces. We expect to complete the project by mid-2024.

During the initial stages of the renovation, two opportunities for further improvement arose. A public studio classroom was funded for new lighting, wheels, HVAC, sinks, shelving, and other studio furniture. We also finalized a partnership with ReJoule to provide our facility with solar panels and a battery system, partially funded through a state grant for sustainable energy initiatives. Not only will that help us reduce costs for the Museum and Studio, but it will also allow AMOCA to act as a cooling center for our community during power outages!

Make a donation today to help us grow into our future!

Thank you!
