The SCC touts spacious, well-designed facility houses a professional exhibition gallery, space for educational programs that serve various segments of the community, and a commercial gallery for works of high craft.  Since 1986, SCC has organized more than 140 thematic exhibitions featuring work by more than 1400 nationally and internationally renowned artists. Additionally, the SCC’s support of culturally diverse and underrepresented groups has resulted in many exhibitions by self-taught, Native American, Korean, and African- American artists."

"The SCC strives to engage visitors in the creative process through contemporary craft and design. Therefore, interpretive programs, lectures, performances and weekend activities are offered in conjunction with each exhibition. The SCC charges no admission, and approximately 30,000 individuals visit our Smallman Street facility annually. An additional 100,000+ experience the changing exhibitions at the satellite gallery in the subway station at One Mellon Bank Center, one of the most accessible public spaces in the city of Pittsburgh."

"Because families are a highly valued audience, the SCC developed the “Drop In Studio.” This free, hands-on activity space for children and adults remains open during all public hours. The Drop in Space encourages visitors to participate in a hands-on art activity that has been developed by artists to tie-in to our special exhibitions. "
