Description:

Established in 2001, Pittsburgh Glass Center (PGC) is a nonprofit, public-access education center; an art gallery; a state-of-the-art glass studio; a community builder; and a hub for innovation and creativity. Anyone can take classes, explore the contemporary glass gallery, and watch the live hot glass demonstrations. World-renowned glass artists come here to both create and teach. 

PGC  is the largest arts organization on Penn Avenue and has been vital to the redevelopment of the city’s rapidly growing East End. PGC fuels a thriving glass art ecosystem of people, facilities, and innovative programming that together shape our region’s creative economy. We seek to amaze, educate, and inspire, as well as demonstrate the power of the arts to positively transform a city.

We share our passion locally, nationally, and internationally to make the glass art community more diverse, vibrant, and accessible. Our guiding principles of creativity, collaboration, sustainability, diversity and excellence enable us to extend our region’s extraordinary glass legacy far into the future.
