Building a Forever Home for Scenic City Clay Arts

We’ve found our new home for clay arts in Chattanooga — and we need your help to make it a reality!

Scenic City Clay Arts is creating a permanent home for clay in Chattanooga — a place where creativity thrives, friendships form, and people of all ages can discover the joy of making something with their own hands.

With your support, we’ll finish transforming our new studio into a vibrant hub for artists, students, and the community. Every gift helps us secure our future home and outfit the space with kilns, wheels, tools, and classrooms — the essential pieces that bring clay to life.

Together, we can shape a future where everyone has access to clay, regardless of experience or income.

Why It Matters

For years, Scenic City Clay Arts has been a creative anchor in downtown Chattanooga — offering pottery classes, studio memberships, and outreach programs that connect people through clay.

Our new space will allow us to:
🎨 Double our membership capacity — serving up to 500 artists
👩‍🏫 Expand classroom and community spaces for students of all ages
🏺 Offer more free and low-cost programs for those who need it most

This is more than a building — it’s a creative home for Chattanooga. And you can help bring it to life.

When you give to SCCA Reimagined, you’re not just funding bricks and mortar — you’re building opportunity, community, and creative joy that will last for generations.

Your support ensures that Scenic City Clay Arts continues to be a place where:

Artists find the tools and space to grow
Students discover confidence through creativity
Our community connects through shared experiences and finds space for a healing, creative outlet
