Investing in a Lasting Home for Clay

Scenic City Clay Arts is raising funds to secure a permanent, sustainable home for clay arts in Chattanooga. While we are not tied to a specific property, every donation is carefully stewarded to ensure that when the right opportunity arises, we’ll be ready to create a space that meets the needs of our growing community.

Your support will help us plan and equip this future home with everything needed to bring clay to life — from kilns and wheels to tools, classroom spaces, and accessible studio areas. Together, we can create a hub where people of all ages can explore, experiment, and connect through hands-on art.

Why It Matters

For years, SCCA has been a creative anchor in Chattanooga, offering classes, studio memberships, and outreach programs that connect people through the joy of clay. A larger, permanent home will allow us to expand those opportunities — providing more space for students, more programs for the community, and more access for anyone who wants to make, learn, or grow.

Supporting SCCA’s future home is about more than a building or equipment — it’s about nurturing creativity, fostering community, and ensuring that hands-on art remains accessible for generations to come. Your contributions help make SCCA a place where:

Artists can develop their skills with the tools and space they need
Students gain confidence and creative expression through making
The community comes together for shared, inspiring experiences
