Pilchuck Glass School is a nonprofit and world-renowned center for glass art education, founded in 1971 by Dale Chihuly and fellow visionaries. Tucked in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Pilchuck has long served as a creative haven for artists worldwide. But with an aging donor base and shifting philanthropic trends, the school needed to modernize how it engaged students and supporters alike.
Gigantic partnered with Pilchuck and Shore to lead a full digital transformation—rebranding the institution and launching a new website that better reflects its innovation, community, and impact. The site, built on Webflow using Gigantic’s component-based design system, was designed to drive applications, streamline donations, and empower the Pilchuck team to manage content with ease.
The result is a bold, immersive digital experience that honors Pilchuck’s artistic legacy while fueling future growth.
Highlights:
✅ 38% increase in applications year over year
✅ Average session duration up by nearly 1 minute
✅ Improved donor engagement and site performance
A fresh brand. A powerful new website. And a nonprofit now equipped to grow for the next generation.
