Growing Into Our Future

The American Museum of Ceramic Art is launching the public phase of 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 at the point of starting physical construction of the interior spaces. We expect to complete the project by mid-2024.

In addition to the improvements listed above, two new opportunities 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 100 solar panels and a battery system through a state-funded 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.

48 donors have donated $1,397,004.*

Thank you!

Your gift in any amount will help AMOCA grow into a brighter future!
