About the American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA)

collections, outreach, and studio programming.

Founded in 2001 and opened in September 2004, AMOCA is the largest museum in the United States devoted

exclusively to ceramic art and historic innovations in ceramic technology. A nonprofit organization, AMOCA’s

collection includes more than 10,000 works. The Museum’s 51,000 square foot facility supports exhibitions,

collections, a museum store, offices, educational areas, and a ceramics studio.

AMOCA is located in a downtown district where art is an important element of a continuing and successful community

revitalization program. The City of Pomona has a rich diversity and boasts a large academic constituency with The

Claremont Colleges, the University of La Verne, Western University of Health Sciences, and California State

Polytechnic University, Pomona, all within a five-mile radius. The Museum is located 35 miles east of downtown Los
