Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Announces Critical Seed Funding to Launch National, Multi-Year Initiative, Pittsburgh IS Craft

Pennsylvania Creative Industries, powered by Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA), announced $87,000 in seed funding to launch Pittsburgh IS Craft - a first-of-its kind, multi-year initiative with national reach aimed at positioning Pittsburgh as a premier destination for craft in the United States.

Pittsburgh IS Craft is a collaborative initiative led by the Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC), Contemporary Craft, and Union Project - three well-established Pittsburgh-based organizations offering world-class facilities, exhibitions, and programming across fiber, wood, metal, ceramics, and glass media. The initiative will help drive tourism to the Pittsburgh region for people to see, make, and buy craft through collaborative marketing efforts, elevate Pittsburgh artists in markets across the country, and build meaningful partnerships that ultimately contribute to the local economy.

"Pittsburgh IS Craft is a wonderful example of the types of innovative creative sector projects we're excited to support," said PCA Chair Susan S. Cohen. "We cannot wait to see how this project helps elevate artists and Pittsburgh's contributions to our Commonwealth's creative sector."
