The artwork donated from area artists has been contributed in order to raise funds for the Audrey Greenwald Memorial Equipment Fund which is in memory of a dedicated studio artist who cared passionately about CAC. This year, the funds raised will go towards a capital investment of replacing an aging, inefficient kiln with a new 24 cubic foot energy saving gas car kiln. As kilns are an essential component to CAC’s ability to fulfill its mission, this purchase will directly benefit the community. Our goal is to raise the last $20,000 that we need to purchase this important piece of equipment.
Unique fun food will be provided through various local food trucks and vendors who will be joining us for the event. Family activities will include face painting, tile painting and hands-on-clay opportunities. Children and adults alike will have the opportunity to throw a pot on the potter’s wheel and participate in a large-scale collaborative sculpture. Door prizes and raffles will also be augmenting the family fun for the day.
