Union Project is a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit that uses ceramics to foster community connections. Since 2001, it has engaged local residents and leveraged the arts to support social change. The organization operates a ceramics studio and offers classes for all ages and skill levels, along with professional development for artists and community events. Its home is a historic building noted for restored stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, original woodwork, and more than 4,300 square feet of event space. The work targets community members from Pittsburgh's diverse neighborhoods and artists seeking professional growth. The organization prioritizes inclusivity, collaboration, art, and joy, with a view toward helping people transform their lives and communities through the arts. A notable recent development is the partnership with Remake Learning in 2023 to host a hands-on clay competition.
