Artist Opportunities
Pittsburgh Glass Center is the nucleus of the glass art community in the region. We strive to grow that community of artists and create an exciting, supportive and thriving environment for glass artists. One way we do this is by offering many opportunities to artists working in glass in the region.
PGC often receives notices about commissions or exhibition opportunities. We will post those opportunities for glass artists here:
CALL for GLASS TWIGS for Upcoming Exhibition at PGC
Absence of Body
Artists from Around the World Asked to Contribute to Local Exhibition Benefiting Pittsburgh Glass Center and Bethelehem Haven
October 3 - January 2009
Artists from around the world are asked to create twigs made of glass from 8-20" in size to be included in "The Communal Nest," an installation that is part of Susan Taylor Glasgow's exhibition "Absence of Body." The glass twigs can be made by casting, torch, or off-hand out of "crystal" clear glass (no color). Visit Susan Taylor Glasgow's website for further information and a fun tutorial on "Glass Twig Making 101".
People who are not artists can contribute as well. Individuals, businesses or groups can sponsor a glass artist from the Pittsburgh Glass Center to create a twig in their name by making a donation of $75 for a large twig (30-40") and $50 for a medium size (20-30"). All profits go to support the programs of the Pittsburgh Glass Center and Bethlehem Haven.
For more details, contact PGC at 412-365-2145 ext. 206.
