The Pittsburgh Art Blog

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.

  1. I guess proof of it being stolen is that your mention here that content is being stolen came up as a new post on that other site - kind of interesting in a self referential way, but I can see why you're annoyed.

    Seems like a robot site. (see below)

  2. beyond the stealing part it's the potential ad revenue he may be making off of it that prompted me to demand removal of the posts...

  4. if you need to report a dmca violation regarding this leech use the email abuse@site5.com . site5 is the host for the servers.

    ralph stahley owns a bike rental shop in boston pa and is stealing content to drive traffic to his sites and others which might well be paying him for ad space...
