The Community Outreach Program broadens the range of the Clay Center's service to the community. Outreach activities are scheduled with groups on a per-project basis. They include public art projects, collaborative murals (five to date), birthday parties, and specialized classes for organized groups.
Over the past ten years we have worked closely with groups such as Mountain Valley Developmental Services, Youth Zone, The Buddy Program, Aspen Camp School for the Deaf & Hard of Hearing, Homeschool Network, and Youth Recovery Center, a statewide substance abuse treatment program for teens. Outreach activities have also brought in scores of individuals, and hundreds of visitors to the Clay Center. This program fulfills our mission to build community through clay related activities.
One of our most popular public art projects, a series of four murals at Carbondale Elementary, now the Third Street Center, and Sopris Park, was completed Spring 2004.
