CONTEMPORARY CRAFT CENTER

12/24/2020

 
Friday, January 15 | 12pm - 1PM 
​$50 PER HOUSEHOLD
ONLINE EVENT | Limit: 30 guests
Jan 15, 2021 |
Glass artist Dean Allison, the 2018 JRA Chrysalis Awardee, takes us to explore the new Contemporary Craft center in Pittsburgh, PA. Contemporary Craft has been presenting work in craft materials by international, national, and regional artists since 1971. This September they opened their stunning new home in a bold new building with three studios and an expansive 2,500 sq. ft gallery. Their inaugural exhibition is a solo show by the renowned artist known as Swoon, known for her large-scale cut paper and hand printed street installations. Join Dean and the JRA as we explore this new beacon for craft together.

*All proceeds from this event support the James Renwick Alliance.
