The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) operates as a museum focused on ceramics, showcasing the art, history, creation, and technology of clay through rotating exhibitions and a diverse programming slate. Its activities include exhibitions, a collecting program, outreach, and studio programming that collectively aim to broaden aesthetic appreciation for ceramic work and illuminate the ideas behind its creation. The museum serves visitors and clay enthusiasts by offering gallery experiences, educational workshops, and opportunities for exhibition participation, fostering cross-cultural understanding through visual art. Based in Pomona, California, AMOCA maintains a temporary-focused cadence across three ground-floor galleries and operates with a staff size reflective of a small-to-mid-sized cultural institution. Recent developments include the recognition of AMOCA in a project exploring American history, and ongoing partnerships that expand access to clay-focused exhibitions and programming.
