Contemporary Craft is exploring the themes of grieving, mourning, and the celebration of life in its new regional, juried exhibition, “Hereafter.”
Craft objects have long been a vehicle for processing and understanding, and the act of creative expression itself can become an instrument for healing. Through the unique perspectives of the artists featured in “Hereafter”, this exhibition transcends individual experiences, to create a rich tapestry of cultural and ancestral connections, and brings forth an authentic portrayal of the grieving process. Each artwork becomes a poignant vessel, carrying the weight of emotions and memories.
To celebrate the high quality and breadth of work being created in the region, the call for “Hereafter” was open to craft artists based within 250 miles of Pittsburgh.
The gallery is open Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Join us as we welcome Clare Drobot for her first public talk with the Holocaust Center!
Clare knew her paternal grandparent’s, Wanda and Jan Drobot — affectionately Yay and Nana — as Polish immigrants living near her childhood home in Northern Virginia. But when Wanda passed away in 1998, Clare began an unexpected journey exploring their shared and individual histories. Both Wanda (née Salomea Wander) and Jan (originally Jakub Djament) were Holocaust survivors who raised their children as Catholic in post-WWII Poland. This is the story of Clare’s search to uncover her family’s past and understand the legacy of her Grandparent’s survival.
