SHAPING THE FUTURE

For 28 years, and counting, Carbondale Clay Center (CCC) has been a pillar of creativity, education, and community in the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. Through our classes, artist residencies, exhibitions, and outreach programs, we have enriched countless lives by sharing the transformative power of clay. Now, we stand at a pivotal moment—one that will define the future of CCC for generations to come.

 

The Vision
To continue fulfilling our mission and expand our impact, we have launched the Shaping the Future Capital Campaign to build a new, state-of-the-art campus. This thoughtfully designed facility will:

  • Expand Studio & Classroom Space – Accommodate growing demand for classes, workshops, and artist residencies.

  • Enhance Community Access – Provide more opportunities for all ages and abilities to experience ceramics.

  • Support Artists & Educators – Create dedicated spaces for artists to work, collaborate, and inspire.

  • Improve Sustainability & Infrastructure – Build a facility that reflects our commitment to longevity, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

Why Now?
Our current space has served us well, but we have outgrown it. Demand for our programs exceeds capacity, and limitations in our facilities prevent us from expanding our reach. With the Roaring Fork Valley’s strong and growing creative community, the time is now to invest in a new home that will allow CCC to thrive for the next generation and beyond.

Your Impact
By supporting the Shaping the Future Campaign, you are helping to build a lasting legacy—one that fosters artistic exploration, strengthens community ties, and ensures that CCC remains a vibrant center for ceramic arts. Your donation is more than a contribution; it is an investment in creativity, culture, and connection for years to come.
