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.
