Blow by Blow



There is so much going on, we haven’t had time to blog…

It’s shameful that there hasn’t been any posting here on this blog since November—we’re so sorry!  We’ve had so much going on that blogging about those things fell by the way side.

Good things that have happened:

A record number of you signed up for Winter and Spring classes and workshops- go you!

A record number of you applied for Summer Scholarships and we gave out a record number of Summer Scholarship Awards- go you and go us!

The TENacity show was a huge hit!

Good things yet to come:

Gardens of Glass Spring Sale is THIS WEEKEND!

Summer classes haven’t started yet.  We’re consistently told it’s one of our best instructor line-ups yet.  Many classes still have space. Check them out! Oh, and we’re offering payment plans which we’ve never done before, email saml@pittsburghglasscenter.org for details.

10x10x10 is coming soon. (May 6 to be exact) The Hodge Gallery will be filled with artwork by over 200 artists from around the world.  The tech staff has built over 150 new pedestals for this show.  It’s the 30th show we’ve had in the gallery over 10 years and it’s the most ambitious to date as we celebrate our 10th anniversary.  Not to be missed!

Hot & Sticky is going to be a great community party at PGC on July 23 with special demos, music and entertainment.  Learn more about this exciting celebration of PGC’s 10 years and it’s supporters in an upcoming blog post!

Pittsburgh is Art Day of Giving is just like last fall’s Day of Giving, but only for arts organizations.  All donations (at least $15) made through the Pittsburgh Gives website on May 11, 2011 will be matched with a portion of a $500,000 pool.  Don’t miss this opportunity to make a big impact with a small donation!

We promise to do better about sharing this info with you in a timely manner.  Don’t hesitate to give us ideas on what you’d like to hear about in this forum!
