Education
In keeping with the Society for Contemporary Craft’s mission “to engage the public in the creative experience through contemporary craft,” educational programming is planned for many different audiences including general visitors and their children, SCC members, schools (both for students and teachers), at-risk youth, and residents of nursing homes. SCC’s educational objectives are to involve the community in the appreciation and expression of art through craft media, to strengthen appreciation of the creative process as an important component in everyone’s life, and to assist visitors in integrating exhibition information outside the gallery.
Drop-in Studio
Because families are one of our primary audiences, we have developed the Drop In Studio, a free hands-on activity area for children and adults. The space, which is open during all public hours, allows visitors to participate in a hands-on art activity that has been developed by artists to tie-in to our special exhibitions. We invite you to bring all your crafters down to SCC’s Drop-in Studio. Contact Education Director, Laura Rundell at thestudio@contemporarycraft.org or 412.261.7003 x 25 for more details.
Membership = great opportunity.
When you become a SCC member you will receive invitations to exhibition openings, members' days at the Store and other special events. Plus, members can earn discounts on Studio classes and save on art supplies at Artist & Craftsmen Art Supply.
