The Raphael Founder’s Prize is a biennial juried exhibition established by Alexandra, Catherine and Margaret Raphael in 1997 to honor their mother and SCC founder, Elizabeth Rockwell Raphael. This is the eighth exhibition in the series, which designates a rotating medium for each show. This show features the work of 33 internationally recognized and emerging artists, and highlights outstanding examples of contemporary works in small metals. A free, hands-on, art activity designed by honorable mention awardee Robert Ebendorf is offered in SCC's Drop-In Studio during public hours.
The Satellite Gallery (BNY Mellon Center)
Pittsburgh Studio Glass
(May 11, 2012 - September 30, 2012)
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the development of studio art glass in America. In recognition of this milestone, and the many talented nationally and internationally recognized artists working with glass, the Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass (AACG) has organized more than 160 glass demonstrations, lectures and exhibitions in museums, galleries and other venues across the United States. The Society for Contemporary Craft (SCC) joins in this celebration by presenting the exhibition, Pittsburgh Studio Glass, featuring the work of Drew Hine, Jon Sirockman, Theo Keller and Bill Zarvis. The exhibition, which offers an in-depth look at the unique techniques and exquisite glasswork of these four contemporary studio makers, opens in SCC’s satellite gallery at BNY Mellon Center in downtown Pittsburgh on Friday, May 11 and continues through Sunday, September 30, 2012.
All Consuming
(February 3, 2012 - June 30, 2012)
Susan Myers’ metalwork and works on paper explore the paradox between materials, process and context as the artist surveys our modern way of life—what we consume, how we consume it, what we discard and disregard, and what we value.
