DCC's Associate Artist Program is a step up from the Community Artist Program and provides artists with a small work area, their own shelving, a work table, a chair and a bulletin board.  

We have openings for 12 Associate Artists at a time and as of September 2018, we are full.  

​District Clay currently has a long waitlist for artist spaces, so we are not taking any new applications at this time. (Jan. 2019)
