Fairfield DD to Acquire Art & Clay on Main!

 

The Fairfield County Board of Developmental Disabilities plans to purchase the business assets of Art &   Clay on Main and lease the Main St. space that has housed the ceramics studio and gallery the last 10 years.

 John Pekar, Superintendent of FairfieldDD, said the agency plans to establish a creative arts and business "incubator" for individuals with disabilities.

 He said the Art & Clay name will remain, and that the agency plans to continue the retail ceramics operation and hopes to continue serving individual artists, groups and county schools with specialty art classes. In addition, Blue Shoe Arts Studio and Gallery, supported by FairfieldDD, will move into the space from its current location at the Opportunity Center on Coonpath Road in Carroll.
