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 3 Associate Artists.  

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