Imagine a Fabulous Party!


Enter a world of pure imagination, as we celebrate the grand opening of the new Timmons Studios! Across both buildings of the Contemporary Craft campus, you'll take a creative journey featuring hands-on activities, artist demos, and a final look at Keiko Fukazawa Retrospective: The Space in Between. And of course, the evening wouldn't be complete without a silent auction, food, drinks, and music curated by Kinselland Radio.


Our Host Committee, along with co-chairs Sallyann Kluz & Dan Allen and Brittany Reilly & Jason Tracy, invite you to celebrate our expansion and IMAGINE MORE as we transform Pittsburgh into the Heart of Craft! 


Your support fuels free exhibitions, dynamic public programs, and opportunities for artists working in clay, fiber, glass, metal, and wood. This year, as we celebrate Pure Imagination, we're also launching a bold new era for Contemporary Craft that sparks inspiration, fosters creativity, and brings even more people together through the power of craft.


Be a part of the magic. Get your tickets today!
