What a special night at Pittsburgh Glass Center’s Art on Fire Celebration + Auction, celebrating 25 years of creativity, education and community. ❤️🔥
Under the leadership of Executive Director Heather McElwee, Pittsburgh Glass Center continues to be an important part of Pittsburgh’s arts community, bringing artists, students and the public together through exhibitions, education, artist residencies and community programs. Art on Fire is a wonderful celebration of that mission and helps support the programs that make it possible.
Coordinated by our own Laurie Streiner, the evening brought together incredible glass art, live demonstrations and plenty of great food.
Guests enjoyed our Summer Heirloom Tomato & Salt Bar, along with Small Bites including Jumbo Blackened Shrimp Skewers and Crispy Rice Paper Spring Rolls.
Chef’s Small Plates featured Braised Rustic Beef Short Ribs, Whipped Cream Potatoes, Sea Salt Roasted Red Potatoes and Caramelized Brussels Sprouts.
Our Artisan Sliders included Smoked Pulled Chicken, Smoky Beef Brisket and Roasted Heirloom Carrots with Whipped Ricotta.
Our staff especially enjoyed the pumpkin patch filled with beautiful hand-blown glass pumpkins — a perfect fall touch and one of our favorite parts of the evening.
ACE Bartenders kept the drinks flowing throughout this memorable night supporting Pittsburgh Glass Center and Pittsburgh’s vibrant arts community.
