by | May 4, 2026 | residency opportunity

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/

job posting: Studio and Program Coordinator at Greenwich House Pottery

by | May 4, 2026 | job posting

The Opportunity 

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.

Craft Ontario is seeking submissions for an in-person retail feature that will highlight the recent work of 2SLGBTQIAP+ Craft Artists from June 12 – July 12, 2026, as well as a written feature on the Craft Ontario website.

This feature has developed over the past several years from a partnership with the ArQuives, in which Craft Ontario presented craft items from fonds in relation to the work of current craft artists, to last year’s online juried feature of recent works of seven extraordinary trans and queer craft artists in Ontario, to now being a juried feature with access to a wider arts market in the Craft Ontario Shop.

“Craft” typically involves handmade objects with a functional purpose, using the following materials:

  • Glass
  • Clay
  • Textile

  • If your material/medium is not listed but you believe your work still fits the “Craft” criteria, please submit!

With the purpose of selling the accepted work, this year’s Pride in Craft offers artists the opportunity to highlight a range of work, including large or one-of-a-kind pieces, and production work in the Craft Ontario Queen Shop – located at 1106 Queen St W, Toronto, ON. All work displayed in the Feature must be for sale and should have the potential to sell in a retail setting.

Accepted applicants will receive the following:

  • Artwork displayed in the Craft Ontario Queen Shop for the specified duration
  • A complimentary 1-year Maker Membership to Craft Ontario
  • A selection of the featured works available on the Online Shop
  • Name, biography, and artist statement shared in the Online Shop alongside the work for sale
  • Accepted artworks promoted on Craft Ontario social channels

  • Application response sent to accepted artists, May 15, 2026
  • Artwork dropped off at the Craft Ontario Queen Shop, May 28 – June 4, 2026
  • Feature on view and works available for purchase, June 12 – July 12, 2026
  • Unsold artwork picked up from the Craft Ontario Queen Shop, July 13-19
