Artist Opportunities
Society for Contemporary Craft
Pittsburgh, PA



The Society for Contemporary Craft offers cutting edge exhibitions focused on multicultural diversity and non-mainstream art, as well as a range of classes, community outreach programs and a fantastic retail store.

SCC strives to create exhibitions that incorporate at least one of four key themes:

Urban Experience—art reflecting the unusual materials, culture and energy of the urban neighborhood.
Art and the Environment—work revealing the connections between contemporary art and nature.
Art and Process—contemporary crafts highlighting the techniques, inspirations and unique visions underlying the creation of each artist’s work.
Crossing Cultural Boundaries—concepts challenging audiences to expand their thinking through multicultural and non-mainstream art.
