Creative Clay's mission is to help people with disabilities achieve full and inclusive lives by providing expressive, educational and vocational experiences in the arts.

Creative Clay achieves its mission by providing ongoing studio and performing arts opportunities for individuals with disabilities five days per week. Creative Clay employs professional teaching artists to provide mentorship in artistic techniques, as well as vocational skills related to the display, promotion, and sale of their expressive works. Professional musicians and actors provide music and theatre experiences culminating in monthly performances.
