Several months ago, during a Penn Avenue Unblurred, an open community painting party took place at Bob Ziller's studio: Spread out on the floor were three 30 ft. sheets of archival watercolor paper. Cheerful participants then rode bicycles with painted tires across the paper - the results are the remarkable paintings on display, priced from $50 to $1000.
Proceeds from the sale of these artworks will benefit the Kullu Valley Bike Project, working in tandem with Kullu Project and PGH East Rotary Club, enabling local bike missionary Grady Minnis to set up a cooperative bike center at the Kullu Orphanage in India's beautiful Kullu Valley.

The Pittsburgh Art 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 artist advocate rick byerly.
