Creative Clay

Creative Clay’s mission is to help people in Saint Petersburg with mental and physical disabilities achieve full and inclusive lives through access to the arts by providing expressive, educational and vocational experiences.

ABOUT: The Community Arts Program serves adults with developmental, emotional, and/or physical disabilities. This arts program provides professional artist mentorship for enrolled member artists in the performing and visual arts in a vibrant studio environment. Visual artwork created may be selected to be exhibited in Creative Clay’s on-site Good Folk Gallery. When artwork is sold, member artists earn a 50% commission. Artwork may also be selected for Creative Clay’s Arts in Offices leasing program or to travel to other community arts partners for exhibition. Depending on the goals the member artists set for themselves, they may have the opportunity to visit local galleries, museums and other cultural venues to expand on their studio experience.
