Society of Contemporary Craft Call for Artists Emerging Artist Program
from the Society of Contemporary Craft:
We are pleased to announce a Call for Entries for the 2011 Lydon Emerging Artist Program (LEAP) Award. Established in the fall of 2007, the LEAP Award provides early career artists who show exceptional promise the opportunity to showcase a body of their work to regional, national, and international audiences. The winner of this juried award receives a $1,000 cash prize to develop a line of work to be shown exclusively through the Store at the Society for Contemporary Craft (SCC).
The guest juror for the 2011 competition is Sharon Massey. An internationally recognized jeweler, Massey received a BFA from Winthrop University in 1999, and an MFA in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2006. She received the Art Jewelry Forum Emerging Artist Award in 2009 and was recently chosen to participate in Lucca Preziosa Young, an exhibition of eight jewelers under 35, which was exhibited in Lucca, Italy, Munich, Germany, and at the JOYA Festival of Contemporary Jewellery in Barcelona, Spain. Her work is included in the collections of the Racine Art Museum, Wisconsin, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.
In the early 1970s, SCC's founder, Pittsburgh arts patron Elizabeth Rockwell Raphael recognized that artists working in craft media were exploring new directions in contemporary art, and she opened The Store for Arts and Crafts and People-Made Things in Verona, Pennsylvania. Known locally as The Store, Raphael sold artwork by young and emerging craft artists such as Wendell Castle, Lenore Tawney, Josh Simpson, Howard Kottler, and Robert Lee Morris among many others that needed wider opportunities to exhibit and sell their work. Building on this early history, it is our hope that the LEAP Award will facilitate young artists move into a career in contemporary craft.
We appreciate your assistance in announcing this opportunity to interested artists, colleagues, students, and alumni. A printable prospectus is available on our website at our website. For more information, email thestore@contemporarycraft.org or call 412.261.7003 x16.

Pittsburgh Artists Nathan Mazur, Jessica LaVecchia @ Zomnbo Gallery Lawrenceville
Zombo Gallery Presents Exhibit by Nathan Mazur and Jessica LaVecchia
"Cute & Creepy"
"Cute & Creepy"
PITTSBURGH – Zombo Gallery, Pittsburgh’s home for hip lowbrow art, announces the an all new 2 person exhibit by local artists Jessica LaVecchia and Nathan Mazur; Cute & Creepy, opening Saturday, May 1st at 6pm.
Cute & Creepy is an exhibit comprised of paintings and other miscellaneous items by local artists Jessica LaVecchia and Nathan Mazur. As the name of the show indicates, the subject matter ranges from cute to… well, creepy. Monsters, bunnies, zombified fisher-price style little people, anthropomorphic food and heart based flatulence are all things to expect from this unique showing.
The team-up between LaVecchia and Mazur for this show was born out of the desire to hopefully expose their respective fans to one another’s work. “While our artistic styles differ from each other, there are some similarities on a more visceral level that I think people who enjoy our work will appreciate”, explains Mazur.
Cute & Creepy runs from May 1st through May 28th, 2010 at the Zombo Gallery, located at 4900 Hatfield St. in Lawrenceville. Opening reception is Saturday, May 1st at 6pm . For those unable to make it to the gallery, select pieces will be available for sale online the following day at www.scaredofbees.com/cuteandcreepy/exhibit.htm. The gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 1-7pm and Sunday 1-5pm. Additional hours by appointment. For more information on Zombo Gallery, please call 412-904-3703.
Jessica LaVecchia is a remarkably prolific artist and designer from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. In addition to paint and canvas, Jessica also creates art digitally, which she often sells as limited edition prints. She has also recently expanded her repertoire to include tattooing. To find out more about the surreal art of Jessica LaVecchia, please follow her blog at http://jeshaka.blogspot.com/
Nathan Mazur is a local artist and animator who is probably best known for his animated music videos for Parry Gripp, such as “Do You Like Waffles?”.
