The Shop at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts will be screening artwork by new consignment artists to complement the existing mix of work currently represented. Because the Shop receives many requests from those who wish to show with us, we ask that interested artists submit to our digital screening for review. As our main focus during business hours is to represent and promote the artwork we currently have available, please be aware that PCA Shop staff will not review artwork on a walk-in basis.

The interviewees are from different neighborhoods, time periods, and cultural backgrounds, but the piece weaves together these distinct memories emphasizing the commonalities of the human experience to form a collective representation of home. Healy received a BA from Oberlin College, and an MFA from the University of the Arts in Book Arts and Printmaking.

The last exhibition was held in 2005 at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
The 2013 honorees:
Being a transitional year for the Guilds at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, members of the Guilds will be given an opportunity to exhibit their current work under one umbrella of an all Guild exhibition titled “The New Collective.” PCA Guild Exhibition Committee invites PCA- Affiliated -Guild artists to exhibit their current work in this exhibition. The Guild Exhibition Committee is reorganizing the approach to Guild exhibitions to be in alignment with current times and to be driven by the Guilds; no longer using themes as a basis for exhibitions.
Artist of the Year, perhaps the oldest and most revered tradition at the Center, has honored an outstanding artist since 1949. After a successful retrospective of all previous honorees in 2001, PCA rededicated itself to making this “old” tradition again an important annual event to honor an outstanding regional artist. That year, for the first time, an Emerging Artist of the Year was also presented. The mix of work by both an established artist and an emerging artist recognizes the dynamic role of artists in PCA’s past, present, and future.
Fiberart International 2013 is the 21st triennial juried exhibition sponsored by the Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh. Chosen by a distinguished panel of artists and curators, Fiberart International 2013 will feature works by established and emerging artists and provides an opportunity to see current trends and innovations in this evolving medium. The exhibition includes works by artists from across the world.
