The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) champions the art, history, creation, and technology of ceramics through exhibitions, collections, outreach, and studio programming. The Museum is a cultural institution of national and international significance, a vanguard for recognizing the place of ceramics in the visual arts community, an organization dedicated to the promotion of equitable access to the arts, and an important and early participant in the economic revival of the Pomona Valley.

Housed in a 51,000-square-foot facility, AMOCA includes four exhibition galleries, a 12,000-square-foot ceramic studio, a resource library, Mudmobile, and a 13,000-object permanent collection. In 2026, we will open a new education hall, Kids Makerspace, accessible gender-neutral bathrooms, two new accessibility ramps, a curatorial preparation room, a Collection Study Room, and a Reading Lounge.

AMOCA’s primary activities celebrate ceramic art, artists, and movements through exhibitions, accessible age-appropriate tours, lectures, artist talks, curator presentations, family days, Artist-in-Residence program, studio classes and workshops, and education and outreach programs.
