PITTSBURGH GLASS CORNER
This exhibition is on view at Pittsburgh Glass Corner. Once a neighborhood lounge and later a vacant storefront, this building has been transformed into a dynamic arts space designed to enhance the vibrancy and livability of our community. Created by Pittsburgh Glass Center in collaboration with neighbors and partners, The Corner activates a once-empty site as a place for creativity, connection, and opportunity.
Pittsburgh Glass Corner is:
- A gallery showcasing emerging artists
- A flexible hub for exhibitions, events, and community gatherings
- A meeting place for local partners and nonprofits
- A residence for visiting artists and technical apprentices
By opening this space, Pittsburgh Glass Center expands access to the arts, supports rising creative leaders, and provides new opportunities for diverse audiences to engage with contemporary craft.
Pittsburgh Glass Corner is located at 5431 Penn Avenue, a 3-minute walk from Pittsburgh Glass Center.
