We call the event "Communion", to play on our studio location in an old
Catholic school building, and also to highlight the community of artists and
supporters that call Pittsburgh home. We are hoping to make these parties a
regular event to showcase exciting art and music created by talented
Pittsburghers, so let's all come together to have some drinks, listen to
good tunes, see some beautiful paintings, and support the arts.

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

pittsburgh galleries is reborn anew as The Pittsburgh Art Blog. the blog features selected pittsburgh artists and upcoming exhibits with photos from the artists and galleries. since the major press outlets do not go beyond a directory listing of exhibits, blogs are needed to promote pittsburgh artists and their work. the blog also calls attention to the inferiority complex of pittsburgh art and how it's perpetuated by the major players in town. Started on August 20, 2007.pittsburgh area galleries and art venues are listed at the sister site www.PghGalleries.com.the blog and website are volunteer projects from fine art photographer and pittsburgh art advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.
