Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The objective of New London Clay Foundation is to support and encourage the creative development of the ceramic arts. This organization will provide the physical and mental equipment needed to support and sustain a creative environment for passionate artists and anyone interested in learning and creating traditional ceramic works. It is our desire to bring a creative environment to the community, welcome visitors into our region, and build strong relationships among artists and individuals involved with the foundation. As a dynamic team, our artistic endeavors and enthusiasm for ceramics will leave a lasting impression on our community and the world of clay. This region of Minnesota is in need of an arts center that specifically focuses on ceramics. New London Clay Foundation will be, at this time, the only venue in this region. This organization and its services will be unique and valuable to this area. If we get incorporated and a 501(c)(3) status, it will be measured as a success.
