How Your Support Helps Our Creative Community:

 

Sustain a Creative Home

With more students, more open studios, and higher daily use, essential equipment — wheels, kilns, slab rollers, tools — requires frequent maintenance and eventual replacement.

Donations help us keep the studio safe, well-functioning, and welcoming for everyone.

​

Subsidize Studio Equipment & Facilities Maintenance

Studio equipment is the backbone of everything we do. Your support directly assists with:

• Kiln upkeep and replacement

• Wheel repair and upgrades

• Glaze materials and kiln furniture

• Facility improvements that keep our space accessible and safe

​

Support our Artist-in-Residence Program

Our Artist-in-Residence program brings emerging talent to Roswell and enriches the community with demonstrations, new ideas, and mentorship. Donor support allows us to provide the resources, materials, and opportunities that make this residency impactful.

 

Subsidize Workshops

We strive to offer high-quality learning experiences at accessible prices. Donations help reduce workshop fees for participants and allow us to bring in exceptional instructors without raising costs for our members.

 

Fund Participation in Local & National Ceramics Conferences

Many of our instructors and advanced students benefit immensely from attending national events such as NCECA, regional symposiums, and professional development workshops. Contributions ensure that finances are not a barrier to growth, learning, and strengthening connections within the wider ceramics community.

 

Foster Community & Growth

Art Center West is more than a studio — it is a place where friendships form, ideas spark, and people of all ages come together. Your generosity helps nurture that environment and allows us to dream bigger about what our community can become.
