One Auction, Two Great Community Organizations, Countless Educational Opportunities
For children across West Virginia and throughout the region, the Clay Center is much more than just a place for fun and entertainment. With science and art exhibits, films, planetarium shows, performances, hands-on workshops and interactive demonstrations, the Clay Center is uniquely positioned to offer STEAM education. This intersection of the arts with the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and math bridges the gap between artistic creativity and scientific innovation.
For the past 57 years, The Charleston Ballet has helped dancers develop valuable skills like teamwork, accountability and discipline of the mind and body by working with guest artists, master teachers and choreographers from around the world.
In addition, thousands of children attend special student performances of the Ballet each year, and economically disadvantaged families in the area are able to experience the magic of dance through the Ballet’s special ticket program that makes the performing arts more affordable.
Thank you for visiting the auction, and please support the businesses who have so graciously donated their goods and services. All proceeds will benefit the Clay Center and The Charleston Ballet's ongoing operations education programs.
