Clayfornia
Ceramic Sculpture in the California Sunshine
This exhibition is a special collaboration between the California Botanic Garden and the American Museum of Ceramic Art. Visitors to the Garden may enjoy the exhibition free of charge with the purchase of admission. The exhibition will be open through May 31, 2021.
Clay and California go together. Clay has been part of California’s history through every sun-dappled chapter and continues to find beautiful expressions in the hands of artists who live and work in Southern California. Clayfornia showcases the works of fourteen artists that have worked at the Ceramics Studio, with special installations of their work throughout the California Botanic Garden.

Spread across 86 acres in Claremont, California, the Garden is located approximately 35 miles east of Los Angeles.
