Launch of “Wonder Season Passport” at the Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia

Written By Taylor Gue

CHARLESTON, WV (November 16, 2025) – The Clay Center for the Arts & Sciences of West Virginia is pleased to announce the debut of its new seasonal initiative, the Wonder Season Passport program, beginning November 22 and running through December 31, 2025.

This program invites guests of all ages to explore the many offerings of the Clay Center—performances, planetarium films and shows, art and science museum exhibits, and hands-on workshops—and earn rewards along the way.

How it works:

  • Pick up your free Wonder Season Passport at the Box Office.

  • Attend any qualifying Clay Center event (performance, workshop, planetarium film/show, or museum visit) between November 22 and December 31 to receive one stamp. 

  • With 4 stamps, you can claim a special edition Base Camp poster and Echo-Lit sticker sheet. 

  • With 8 stamps, you unlock the grand prize: a limited-edition West Virginia-themed brick set (available for pick-up at the Clay Center in January 2026). 

  • One stamp per person per transaction; Clay Center members may earn stamps by showing their membership card for museum or planetarium visits. 

  • If you retain your passport into the next season, stamps can carry over: 4 stamps earn 1 free stamp next season; 8 stamps earn 2 free stamps next season. 

The Wonder Season Passport is designed to reward the Clay Center’s patrons who come time and time again. Each visit becomes more than a single experience—it becomes a chance to explore new programs across art, science, and performance while earning exclusive rewards along the way. The more patrons enjoy, the more the Clay Center can thank them for being one of their most enthusiastic guests. Together, we’re building richer experiences, lasting memories, and a vibrant holiday tradition at the Clay Center.

“The Clay Center’s Wonder Season Passport is our way of celebrating you—the patrons who return again and again and make the Clay Center part of your holiday tradition,” says Director of Communications Taylor Gue. “The holidays here are filled with magic, from dazzling performances and hands-on workshops to awe-inspiring planetarium shows and museum adventures. This season, we’re turning that excitement into an adventure of its own.”
