MEETINGS
Membership is required to participate in some events but the regular networking, informal member demos, and fellowship at our monthly meetings will remain free and open to the public.
Upcoming Meetings
January 14th - 2025 Open House & Supply Exchange
7pm at Austin Beer Garden and Brewery (ABGB) - 1305 W Oltorf St.
We will be holding our first meeting/social gathering of the new year on Tuesday, January 14th at 7pm at ABGB. We will be having an Open House & Supply Exchange! We would love to see some faces, old and new, so come meet and mingle with other Austin clay folks, learn about GACA and what we have planned for 2025, and let us know what you would like to see in the future in the Austin clay community. (Hint: we will be holding our studio tour again in April and also be introducing some additional social and critique meetings!)
EVERYONE is welcome! If you've never been to one of our meetings, if you haven't been in a long time, or if we see you at every meeting…come on out! Spread the word! We know there are always people new to clay in Austin and we want to get folks involved. So grab a clay friend and come on out!
We'll also be doing a supply and tool exchange! So feel free to bring clay related supplies or tools that you just don't need anymore and exchange it with someone else for something new to you!

Meeting Details
GACA generally meets in the Ceramics Studio at the Dougherty Arts Center (DAC) at 1110 Barton Springs Road.
Parking is available in front of and around the building and Butler Park. The front lot will be designated for DAC special event parking, which is us, and you will just need to get a parking pass from the front desk. The rest of the lots surround the building are open to the public and free after 5pm.
Meetings typically start at 7pm with community announcements followed by a demonstration from an area artist.
GACA has been meeting since 2003! Click here to see a list of all of our past meetings and demoing artists!
