HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Clayworks at Disability Supports, in Hutchinson, recently installed a Watchfire digital display to modernize their brand image and improve community interactions.

"We see the Watchfire display as a worthy investment that will continue to benefit the community, the artists, and our mission for years to come." said Rick Staab, president and CEO of Disability Supports of the Great Plains.

The Clayworks at Disability Supports is a non-profit organization that has been providing a full range of services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities for almost 30 years. Located in a high-traffic area of Hutchinson, The Clayworks replaced its existing 10mm Watchfire display with a state-of-the-art 6mm, 4'5" x 8'3" Watchfire digital display to promote its facility as a community gathering place that is welcoming, supportive, and provides an opportunity to support its disabled citizens.

The Clayworks is a multi-use building that primarily serves to enable disabled citizens to create artwork they can sell nationally through the on-site gift shop, promoting confidence and self-sufficiency. This beautifully renovated space, which originally served as a medical clinic, also brings community members together by featuring a retail coffee shop, a culinary arts demonstration kitchen, collaborative meeting spaces, and an outdoor garden and basketball court.

"Our mission to create a higher standard of care for people with intellectual disabilities is well represented through the Watchfire display," Staab said. "The display serves as a real touchstone in the community. We showcase students' artwork, invite community members to enjoy our amenities, and share timely messages that promote local events and organizations. We see the Watchfire display as a worthy investment that will continue to benefit the community, the artists, and our mission for years to come."

Upgrades of previous Watchfire displays were acquired in partnership with Kansas-based sign company Luminous Neon, Inc. Tom Sellers, CEO of Luminous Neon, cites Watchfire's quality products, customer service, and sales support, as the key factors in their nearly 20-year relationship.
