In Conversation: Retail Real Talk

In December 2020, we hosted owners and managers from retail locations around Pittsburgh discussing what it is to be a craft-centric business and the realities of selling locally. Many of the producers featured in our new exhibition, Locally Sourced, are carried by local businesses, but how do those relationships form? What goes into a consignment agreement? What are some of the challenges of carrying living artists, designers, and craftspeople? Learn more about the commercial shelf life of buying local from some of the region’s premier sellers of handmade.
Speakers:
Casey Droege (Small Mall)
Lori Braszo (Carnegie Museum of Art Store)
Samantha Stickle (PG&H)
Trish O’Connell (Contemporary Craft)
Kelly Sanders and Monica Yope (love, Pittsburgh)
About Locally Sourced:
Pittsburgh has a long tradition of artisans and industry. Today it is home to a growing cohort of independent designers and makers working in traditional media such as clay, glass, metal, fiber, wood, and paper, and with emergent materials and technologies. Locally Sourced highlights new work by some of the region’s most talented artists and makers of functional goods and furnishings.
Locally Sourced is on view through March 27, 2022.
