Nathan has spent most of the week over at Pittsburgh Glass Center, photographing auction donations. Their studios are currently shut down for their annual studio clean-up and maintenance, but energy is ramping up for theÂ

Sam also worked with website clientsÂ
JADA House International to firm up their sponsorship tiers and set up ticket sales for their first-ever fundraiser next month! JADA House does really powerful community work in Hazelwood and greater Pittsburgh and has set an ambitious goal of raising $25,000 for 2025, with an aptly named event,Â
25 for 25: A Celebration of Black Art & Community. Tickets go on sale August 17!Â
