Donate Now
Support PGC with a donation today.
Pittsburgh Glass Center is a non-profit school, gallery and studio. Although we normally fund approximately 50% of our operations through earned revenue, due to cancellations and closures caused by the COVID-19 health crisis, we are facing losses of over $500,000 in earned income this year. That means donations are more important now than ever so that we can continue serving the community through exhibitions, classes and workshops, and state-of-the-art studios and equipment. We are grateful for your support!
