Applications for our Ceramic Artist in Residence are closing soon!
PCA&M offers one 8-9 month artist residency in ceramics per program year. This opportunity runs from fall through spring. Our intention with the Ceramic Artist-in-Residence program is to continue to expose our 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.
Applications are open through May 11th. To learn more and apply, visit pghartsmedia.org/ceramic-residency-program/
The OpportunityΒ
The Studio and Program Coordinator (SPC) is a critical role at Greenwich House Pottery (GHP) responsible for coordinating daily studio operations, supporting education programs, and supervising Technician and Program Assistants s TPAs. Reporting to either the Manager of Learning and Student Experience or the Studio Operations Manager (site dependent), this position ensures smooth workflows between education and operations across both GHP locations.
The Studio and Program Coordinator supports faculty, students, and staff by maintaining a safe and organized learning environment, overseeing program logistics, and coordinating internal communication. This is a customer and student facing role, and contributes to student experience, internal messaging, and organic social media efforts to foster a connected and informed GHP community. This position exists at two locations: 16 Jones Street and 80 Eighth Avenue (Chelsea). While both roles share a common core of responsibilities, the scope and emphasis vary based on site.
At the Chelsea studio, the Studio and Program Coordinator serves as the primary full-time staff presence on site, operating with a high degree of autonomy and day-to-day oversight. This role is the main point of contact for approximately five TPAs, as well as for faculty and students. In this smaller, more lightly staffed environment, the role leans more heavily toward technical and studio-based responsibilities alongside administrative coordination.
At the Jones Street studio, a larger and more complex facility, the Studio and Program Coordinator works within a more robust on-site management structure. This role supervises a larger team of approximately ten TPAs across both technical and administrative functions and focuses more heavily on coordination, scheduling, and program administration, with technical responsibilities primarily supported by the Operations Manager.
