The Gardiner is thrilled to announce the launch of CLAY, an original in-house restaurant offering seasonal menus of fresh, local fare in collaboration with The Food Dudes. Coming Summer 2018!
This summer, join us for free art workshops and exhibits, live performances, talks, and more, as part of the third edition of the Community Arts Space project, the Gardiner's incubator for arts-based community projects presented by TD Bank Group.
Kids can explore their creativity with clay in our week-long summer camps. They'll learn hand building, wheel throwing, glazing, and more! Camps are selling out quickly so register now.
The Gardiner Museum is among the few museums in the world focused on ceramics, and is one of the most important specialty museums internationally. It houses approximately 4,000 objects, including European porcelain, ceramics from the Ancient Americas, Chinese porcelain, Japanese porcelain, and contemporary ceramics.

Everyone can love clay! Become a Friend at one of the world’s great specialty museums and enjoy the benefits, including unlimited admission, invitations to exhibition previews and special events, discounts on lectures and clay classes, and more.
The Gardiner Museum thanks the generous individuals, corporations, foundations and government funders who make it possible for the Gardiner to celebrate the art of ceramics.

Gardiner Meritus
The Gardiner Museum has had many board members, donors and volunteers who have served over the years, and the Museum has benefited greatly from their support. To recognize this contribution to the Museum, and to ensure these key stakeholders remain connected to it, the distinction of “Gardiner Meritus” was created.
Our Gardiner Meritus members include previous board members, both Trustees and Directors; previous Presidents of the Gardiner Volunteer Committee (GVC) and volunteers who have served for over 20 years; donors giving $50,000, in funds or objects, in individual or cumulative gifts; and others may be suggested by senior staff or Board members to the Executive Director, including prominent artists who work in clay, past Gardiner Board Committee members, or those with a similar profile. Individuals in this category would need to be approved by the Governance Committee.
