Mandate

The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is committed to the collection, conservation, lending, and public exhibition of clay, glass, and enamel works of art and craft. We promote knowledge and appreciation of these works, as well as their makers, to stimulate public interest in the mediums of clay, glass, and enamel.

Mission

In an inclusive community space and cultural hub, we engage artists and the public through exhibitions and collaborate in accessible education programming. We amplify diverse and often untold stories to open dialogue and inspire social change.

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is located on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Gallery is situated on the Haldimand Tract, land promised to Six Nations in 1784 that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River; yet, today, the Six Nations reside on less than five per cent of this unceded territory. Indigenous peoples have inhabited this land for thousands of years, and we respectfully share this territory in peace and friendship. We are grateful and we re-affirm our commitment to do the work, to unlearn and relearn, towards a true reconciliation.
