Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

EXHIBITIONS: THE PRIMARY MEANS OF WHICH AMOCA CONVEYS THE ASTONISHING RANGE OF CLAY ARTISTRY IS THROUGH EXHIBITIONS OF WORK THAT IS PART OF THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION OR ON LOAN FROM COLLECTORS, ARTISTS, OR OTHER INSTITUTIONS. BECAUSE AMOCA HAS FOUR GALLERIES THAT CUMULATIVELY COMPRISE 9,500 SQUARE FEET OF EXHIBITION SPACE, VISITORS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW A RANGE OF ARTWORK WHILE TOURING THE MUSEUM. THE THEMATIC, SUBJECT-BASED, OR ARTIST-SPECIFIC EXHIBITIONS ILLUSTRATE SPECIFIC SKILLS, DEPICT PROCESSES, AND SHOWCASE OBJECTS OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR MORE INFORMATION.


EDUCATION AND CERAMICS STUDIO: AMOCA'S EDUCATION PROGRAM IS PREDICATED ON OUR BELIEF THAT CLAY IS ONE OF THE MOST ENDURING INDICATORS OF CULTURE. WE TRACE CERAMIC ADVANCES BY STUDYING THE TECHNOLOGY, CONSTRUCTION, GLAZING AND FIRING PRACTICES DEVELOPED THROUGHOUT HISTORY; WE FIND CLUES TO THE SOCIAL EXPRESSION OF CERTAIN TIME PERIODS THROUGH THE STUDY OF CERAMIC SHAPES, FORMS AND STYLES OF DECORATION; AND WE ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THOUGHT PROVOKING EXHIBITIONS AND RELATED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, AMOCA HAS AN EXTENSIVE CERAMICS STUDIO THAT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL LEVELS OF PROFICIENCY TO EXPLORE CLAY. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR MORE INFORMATION.


COLLECTIONS: AMOCA COLLECTS AND PRESERVES EXAMPLES OF CLAY ARTISTRY THAT ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE WORLD'S CULTURES FROM ANCIENT TIMES TO THE PRESENT. OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION, WHICH CONSISTS OF OVER 7,000 PIECES, IS A GROWING REPRESENTATION OF THE IMPACT OF CERAMICS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN CULTURES. MUCH OF OUR COLLECTION HAS BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED AND IS AVAILABLE FOR VIEW ON FLICKR. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR MORE INFORMATION.
