Venue Info: Union Project is a community ceramics center that uses the art of clay to foster creativity and connections among people. We offer more than 100 clay programs and events throughout the year to provide experiences and education to people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. We are dedicated to reaching people diverse in race, ethnicity, religion, age, ability, gender identity, and socioeconomic status. Our mobile studio – the Wheel Mobile – is equipped with clay, tools, a potter’s wheel, and a mobile Raku kiln so that we can bring a clay activity anywhere there’s a road. And when you rent space at UP, the proceeds help offset the cost of our clay programs supporting our mission to make ceramics accessible to all. Union Project is a historic space that is community-restored and maintained; the building itself was transformed as a creative solution to a community problem. We believe that art can create change and help us build a more inclusive, empathetic, and just community.
Parking Info: There is plenty of on-street parking. Union project is also conveniently located on three major bus routes (71A, 75, and 87).
