Hand in Hand 2025
Annual Benefit and Auction
takes place on
Saturday, October 18 at 4pm-6pm ET
at Clay Art Center!
Clay Art Center invites you to our annual benefit and auction, Hand in Hand. This year, we are honoring students who have been at Clay Art Center for 15+ years and make our community so vibrant.
Please join us as we come together to celebrate them and our creative community. We will share an evening filled with joy and Clay Art Center history, as we hear from our honorees, our Board, and other invited guests.
The event will be held outdoors at Clay Art Center, located at 40 Beech Street, Port Chester, NY 10573, featuring delicious appetizers and drinks. We will have seating and covered areas for your comfort. In case of rain, we will move into Clay Art Center’s gallery and artist spaces.
Our auction features work donated by Clay Art Center artists, residents, and nationally recognized ceramic artists. Join in the excitement of the online auction and make your bid the winner for exquisite artist-donated pieces.
Your tickets, donations, and auction purchases support vital operations and our quality programming, including year-round scholarships, residencies for emerging artists, and community outreach programs, which allow Clay Art Center to promote the practice and appreciation for ceramic arts in our community.
In the event that we are unable to hold an in-person event due to health concerns, inclement weather, or unforeseen circumstances, the online auction will continue, and we appreciate your donation.
