Silver Eye has provided support and opportunities to photographers in Pittsburgh for more than forty years. Silver Eye promotes the power of contemporary photography as a fine art medium by creating original exhibitions, unique educational programming, and a space for artists to learn, create, and connect through the digital lab. The organization makes its professional staff and equipment available to all its exhibiting artists, encouraging them to experiment with new techniques or work on a scale that might be impossible otherwise.

“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
