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!
Thank you to our early supporters!*
