Crafting Our Future Campaign
Contemporary Craft is transforming after 33 wonderful years in the historical Produce Terminal Building in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. The purchase and renovation of the $5.5 million new home in Pittsburgh’s Upper Lawrenceville neighborhood will provide a sustainable future for Contemporary Craft and serve as a place of art, inspiration, and creativity that is accessible to all. Be a part of building a new home for Contemporary Craft in Pittsburgh!
