The Clay Arts Guild (CAG) is an association of ceramic artists that is located in central Contra Costa County, California. CAG members assist in the support public facilities owned and operated by the City of Walnut Creek Civic Arts Education. CAG membership enables the monotored use of the facilities during specific non-class hours. All members must be enrolled in at least one formal class during each of the regular quarters. Membership extends for a full year starting in the fall quarter or may be obtained at reduced cost for the summer quarter only.

Although many of the artists utilizing these facilities operate at a professional level of skill, and some support their own facilities, all work produced in the city facilities may only be sold at CAG functions. There are two types of sales:<br>

Donated goods sale ("Warehouse Sale" ). All ceramics are donated by CAG members and all funds received support CAG activities.

Commission sale ("Artist's Sale" ) CAG receives a portion of the sale price.

Funds received by CAG are used to purchase equipment for use by both CAG members and for members of the public through the Civic Arts Program. CAG funds are also used to to support merit scholarships for ceramic artists attending Civic Arts ceramic classes.
