KAST visitors will find the Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) an exciting stop on their tour. Since 1962 Kirkland Arts Center has been an integral part of the Kirkland arts scene. Housed in a landmark 1891 building, Kirkland Arts Center (KAC) has been home, for more than 45 years, to innovative visual art programming, including a non-profit gallery, Resident Ceramic Arts program, and art classes serving all ages.

KAC is a great place to see the creative process as it applies to the medium of Ceramics. On exhibit and for sale, in the Resident Artist’s Studio, you will see and enjoy the work of six artists and a variety of techniques and styles. This includes sculpture, functional dinnerware, garden ceramics and whimsical creatures. Our demonstrators will give you a chance to see, in action, the process of throwing on the pottery wheel. The artists’ represented will be Resident Ceramic Artists, Barbara Hennig, Elaine Moore, Darlene Olds, and Betsy Smith and two of our ceramic instructors, Aaron Murray and Pat Colyar.

Saturday, also celebrate art with a full day of free art projects for the whole family. The fun starts at 10:30 am on the third floor in the skylight room with Mother’s Day projects for all ages. At 1:00 pm join us behind the Arts Center by the kiln shed with a Raku event.

For a $5 donation you glaze and then watch one of our experts fire your one of a kind object to take home the same day.

The art gallery will be open both days and will be featuring an exhibit titled Heads (dis) Embodied.
