In our initial season, 6 artists were chosen to create editioned works for shareholders. The 2013 CSA PGH team of Casey Droege, Corey Escoto, Kilolo Luckett, and Blaine Siegel were aided by a group of jurors, including Christiane Leach, Artist Relations Coordinator for GPAC, Juliana Morris, Former executive Director of Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, and Kathleen Mulcahy, artist and co-founder of Pittsburgh Glass Center.
