Individual Giving
Pittsburgh Glass Center is a non-profit school, gallery and studio. Although we fund approximately 50% of our operations through earned revenue, we still rely on donations from people like you to continue serving the community through exhibitions, classes and workshops, and state-of-the-art studios and equipment. Here are a few of the reasons people support us:
- Free For All - We open our doors to the community for free six days a week to experience contemporary glass art.
- Uniqueness – PGC is the only public access organization dedicated to glass art in the region.
- Fun & Memorable - PGC strives to offer a one-of-a-kind memorable experience for everyone who walks in our doors.
- Excellent & Accessible Instruction – PGC provides opportunities for people of all ages and abilities try glass making and has a talented group of skilled instructors who make the process enjoyable and fun.
