It’s baaaaaack…

Apply now for the 2026 installment of “Creep Show,” our annual juried group exhibition of ceramic works that can be described as cutely creepy through to downright terrifying.

We're excited to have Clay Center co-founder Tracey Bellina-Milazzo as this year's juror! She pitched a creepy exhibition idea for Halloween back in 2019 and the show was such a hit that we've done it every year since. Learn more and apply at www.nolaclay.org!

Application Fees
$5 for NOLA residents
$30 for all other applicants.
International artists welcome!

It's Pride Month! A month when we celebrate the LGBTQIA community - and remember that the first Pride was a riot, and though we've made much progress in the way of LGBTQIA rights over the recent years, the fight is not over.

The Clay Center is and always will be a safe and inclusive space for all of our community members.

Calling all young artists! We are excited to offer several half-day summer camps in 2026 for kids ages 7-12. These fun half-day camps join imagination and creativity with building real clay skills. Spots are limited; learn more and register at nolaclay.org

We’re proud to welcome Jane Hill as our summer camp instructor! Jane is a local ceramic sculptor and retired art teacher who has taught clay to kids professionally for over thirty years, including through the St Tammany Talented Art Program, at Baltimore Clayworks in Maryland, and through numerous other venues and camps around New Orleans. Camp spots are limited so register now!

What feelings does this elicit for you? For me? I think of happy discoveries I made as a child.
