Fall 2014: The Red Glass House

Prompted by the idea of an artist’s community that will be the center of production arts and preforming arts. Twice a year the community opens its door from one end through to the other utilizing shared space created in the center of this row home community.

The first house that anchors the community to the rest of the neighborhood of New Kensington, and invites people of all ages to pass through and view how these artists like and work as well as shops and displays for the art. The Red Glass house is home to a glass working artists that has their personal workshop within the home.
