Impact of Donations

When you give to Creative Clay, your money can be used in a number of ways to sustain our organization and provide meaningful art and cultural experiences for our member artists. Here are just a few examples of what your gift can provide:

$30 - Transportation cost per day

Creative Clay’s two FDOT vans transport member artists to art galleries, museums, libraries and other community venues on a daily basis. In 2022, Creative Clay paid over $10,000 for vehicles expenses for the two community vans. This includes gas, maintenance, and insurance.

$65 - Scholarship for one day

Scholarship funding for one session in our daily community arts program in the studio or out in the community.

$465 - Professional Teaching Artist for one week

Creative Clay hires professional artists from our community to mentor and support the artistic growth of our member artists. The cost of one artist for one week is $375. We hire six to eight artists per week.

$500 - Studio Art Supplies for one month

Studio art supplies for the Community Arts Program for one month (acrylic paints, Sharpie markers, colored pencils, gesso, journals/sketchbooks, canvas, masonite board, pine 2×4 for framing)

$1500 - Advocacy: Trip to Tallahassee

Each Spring, Creative Clay heads to Tallahassee to advocate for people with disabilities and for the arts on Developmental Disability Awareness Day or on Arts and Culture Day. Help us with the cost of hotel rooms for seven people, fuel and food. 

$5000 - Artlink Artist Team Sponsorship

Sponsorship for one artist team in Artlink, our apprenticeship program, that pairs a professional artist with one of our member artists who collaborate and create visual and performance art. Special exhibit showcases the work. Both artist and apprentice are paid for their sessions. Each session is for three months.
