PCA&M is excited to present our 4th Annual Member & Student Exhibition!

Help us celebrate you! We want to showcase the incredible level of talented and
creative people that come through our doors, make artwork in our studios and
support PCA&M by being a part of our community.

This exhibition opportunity is open to all people (18 and up) that have a current
membership with PCA&M (associate, family, senior, student, or access) and
any person who has been a recent student (2021 until now). Members should be in
good standing and students should state what their most recent class or workshop
was that they took with us.

We want to see your artwork!
Painting, drawing, ceramics, prints, jewelry/metals, photography, digital illustration,
fiber arts, mixed media; we are interested in seeing it all!

We want to show off as much talent as possible, and at least one piece of all submitted work from each artist will be chosen for the show.

Please submit up to 3 images for consideration, listing the title, materials, year it was made, size, and price for each piece in the “Describe Your Work” box. We will not accept artwork larger than 36″x36″.

All artwork should be ready for installation upon arrival, i.e. wired etc.

The deadline to apply is May 12th

 

The exhibition runs Friday, June 28th through Sunday, August 25th

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does my artwork have to be made during a class or during studio access?

Not at all! Feel free to submit any piece whether you made it at PCA&M, at home, or even another studio.

I haven’t made anything new recently, can I submit an older piece?

We can’t resist a good classic! You can submit any piece as long as it was made from 2021 until now.

Does my work have to be for sale in the exhibition?

Only if you want it to be! We know you can’t always put a price on a piece, and we’re happy just to have the opportunity to exhibit your work.

I haven’t taken a class in a couple years, can I still submit my work?

We’re happy to accept work from any student who’s taken a class with us as far back as 2021.

Can I submit for the show if I just became a member?

Absolutely! This exhibition is open to all members whose membership is currently up to date.

How can I become a member?

You can sign up for a membership online.

I’d like to submit, but how do I know if my work is good enough to be shown?

Applying for shows can sometimes be intimidating, but we think all work is great in its own special ways! You can submit up to three of your favorite pieces, and we’ll accept at least one piece from every artist.

 

This form is currently closed for submissions. It will open on Monday, April 1.

 

yART is half yard sale, half art show! Finally a place you can sell those pieces that didn’t come out just right, materials you just aren’t using anymore, or even studio treasures that just seem to be taking up space nowadays.

PCA&M offers an internship program for college students and recent graduates. Our program operates on a three pronged approach. Interns spend equal amounts of time helping with studio maintenance, learning studio practices from our coordinator and developing their own work. Interns may have opportunities to help educate children at our summer camps or assist with adult classes as needed. Interns can commit  anywhere from 10- 40 hours per week for up to 2 years.

Interested Applicants should contact Ceramics Coordinator Audra Clayton at aclayton@pghartsmedia.org and inquire about current opportunities and how to apply.

Interns are accepted on a rotating basis based on studio needs.

College students on summer break are encouraged to apply.

The PCA&M ceramics coordinator is able to work with local universities for interns to gain college credits.

Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media offers one 8-9 month artist residency in ceramics per program year. This opportunity runs from fall (Sept/October) thru spring (April/May).  Our intention with the Ceramic Artist-in-Residence program is to continue to expose our immediate ceramic community (both internal and the greater Pittsburgh area) to fresh new perspectives in technique and discipline within the ceramic arts, in turn also helping to create greater visibility for the participating artist. Our program is intended to foster greater community engagement between the resident and other interested parties through: 

• Shared studio practice
• Interaction with members & students
• Paid teaching opportunities
• Sales opportunities through our retail shop and markets
• A mid-residency solo exhibition in our gallery space.

Ideally our program is best suited for the emerging ceramic artist that is in need of studio space, equipment use and community for support. Our residency places priority on supporting emerging artists from historically underrepresented groups in the ceramic community. Through our program the resident will learn valuable skills related to managing/coordinating a fast paced community studio that the resident can use to help secure other opportunities after they complete our residency. 

Applicants should have a BFA in ceramics or have an established practice and body of work. PCA&M will provide a semi private studio space, access to all PCA&M equipment*, 600 pounds of studio clay, studio glazes and access to all studio firings. PCA&M residents do not pay fees and will receive a modest monthly ($500.00) stipend to help offset weekly living expenses.

Residents are required to work 10-15 hours per week on studio maintenance, present one exhibition and artist talk in January for members and the public, and be an active member of our studio community. Residents should plan to complete one studio improvement project based on their interest and skills.

Applicants should send a resume, artist statement, 10 images of their work, and a letter of intent to Studio Arts Manager Audra Clayton (aclayton@pghartsmedia.org). A letter of intent (1000 words or less) should share what body of work residents plan to develop and exhibit & what skills they are prepared to share.
