nd Society for Contemporary Craft

(SCC) was founded in 1971

by Elizabeth Rockwell Raphael

in the belief that contemporary

artists had new things to say with

traditional materials, and that they

needed wider opportunities to

exhibit and sell their work. Since

then, SCC has organized more

than 235 exhibitions, created

strong educational and community

outreach programs, established

a satellite gallery and a permanent

collection, and developed

a growing retail business.

our miss ionto engage the public in

creative experiences through

contemporary craft

General program support provided by the Allegheny Regional Asset District, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Elizabeth R. Raphael Fund of The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Heinz Endowments, the Richard King Mellon Foundation, and many other foundations, corporations and individuals like you.
