The Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences $250,000 (Special Initiative) The Clay Center has launched its revitalization and remodeling program, which will include a new interactive art sculpture and interactive art galleries. The downstairs space, which is currently called STEAMworks, will house a small city designed for kids. The city will have math, science and art-related features where children may explore various careers. Through this renovation, students will be in charge of their own learning, but teachers may adapt the activities to fit into the classroom. To support this revitalization project, a $250,000 grant will be disbursed over a five-year period (2017-2021).
“The Avampato Discovery Museum should be a resource for every West Virginia teacher and inspire a love of learning in every West Virginia student.” – Al Najjar, Clay Center, President & CEO
