  • The Possible Dream: Collection Highlights Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Clay Center

    In June 1985, Charleston civic leaders unveiled plans for an arts center to revitalize the city’s downtown area. After decades of fundraising, planning, and construction, the Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences of West Virginia opened in July 2003. Join us as we celebrate our twentieth anniversary through an exhibition that tells the story of the Clay Center through art!

    Featuring highlights from our permanent collection, the display also includes archival material exploring our history, such as the art museum at Sunrise and past exhibitions held in the Juliet Art Museum.

    Free during exhibition opening at Art After Dark; afterward, included with museum admission.
