  30th Anniversary Gala Two Day Affair: Cultivating Clay in Community for 30 years

  Baltimore Clayworks is celebrating 30 years as one of Maryland’s leading non-profit arts organizations and nationally recognized ceramic art centers. In honor of this special anniversary, Clayworks is planning a 30th Anniversary Gala Two Day Affair on September 24 and 25, 2010.  The weekend event will feature artists, artwork and a one-of-a kind gala at the American Visionary Arts Museum. 

  This two day event is chock-full of entertainment, surprises, art and artists – too much to possibly fit on one page.  Please visit http://www.baltimoreclayworks.org/event/clayball.html for details.
