Project Title: KC Clay Guild Ceramic Art Center
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
KC Clay Guild, founded in 1988, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving nearly 900 members and 2,000 students annually through inclusive, high-quality ceramic arts education for all ages and abilities. Supported by 60+ active volunteers and 15 highly experienced teaching artists. The Guild offers sliding-scale pricing and extensive charitable programming, including approximately 400 hours of no-cost instruction each year for urban core school districts and partner nonprofits serving adults with disabilities. KC Clay Guild also operates one of the nation\u2019s top-funded Artist in Residence programs, supporting four international artists annually with stipends, private studios, and professional resources. To meet growing demand, the organization is renovating a 18,600-square-foot ceramic arts center in Midtown Kansas City with the support of BNIM and Forge Construction, that will dramatically expand access through new studios, energy-efficient kilns, 50 potter\u2019s wheels, a dedicated gallery, Kansas City\u2019s only ceramic supply shop, and expanded free and paid programming; all 25 rental studio spaces are already fully leased. The $2 million capital campaign is 50% complete as of January 2026, bolstered by a $500,000 matching grant from The May Family Charitable Fund with $300,000 remaining to match, and KC Clay Guild seeks a $10,000 grant from The Charles and Joan Hermanowski Foundation \u2014 funds that would be fully matched\u2014to help complete this transformative regional arts resource.<\/p>\n
