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.

Pittsburgh Public Art Resources

The URA and the Office of Public Art have come up with a document to help with and promote contracting Pittsburgh artists for commissioning small and large scale works of art. As mentioned in the guide public art doesn't always need to mean sculptures but can also be 2 dimensional works of art to be displayed inside of buildings.

The Pittsburgh Office of Public Art has published a new document titled, “Add Value Add Art” The document billed as a, “public art resource guide for developers,” was produced at the request of Urban Redevelopment Authority which wanted to help promote public art in new developments around town.

The document can be found at the URA web site.

A list of local Pitttsburgh artists can be found here.

Pittsburgh Galleries Blog Goes On Hiatus

Pittsburgh Galleries Blog Goes On Hiatus

This blog will no longer be a comprehensive listing of Pittsburgh art events but the good news is that there's a new blog which is doing a great job of covering the scene: Bittersweet Harvest. To have an event listed there email the info to bsharvest(AT)hotmail.com. The url is http://bittersweetharvest.blogspot.com/ .

I'm not sure what this blog will become. Perhaps in the fall it will re-emerge.

I'm hoping to keep up the volunteer effort here and could use some help. Passing the word on to anyone in the Pittsburgh region who has even a remote interest in visual art and asking them to bookmark or subscribe the blog would be a huge help. There are a ton of art events going on in the area and the blog is an attempt to get the word out on "quality" art events.

Most of the traffic to this blog is a result of search engine tagging (accounts for 8,000 of the 10,000 monthly hits right now) and in order for me to take this to the next level I'm looking for return visits. Also I need your input on whether to continue the Pittsburgh art articles summary for the month, eg November is here, as well as the monthly art event guide, November 2008 is here.

If you have a blog or website linking the blog and website would be great. Yours may even be linked on my blog already, if not then shoot me an email. Donations, advertising, and sponsor info is here.

Comments are welcome and encouraged on this and all posts.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

Pittsburgh Art Galleries Blog Turns One! Yayyyyyyy!

Happy birthday to the Pittsburgh Galleries Blog and the website directory as it turns one today. In the past year the blog has received over 16,000 visitors, 20,000 visits and 33,000 page hits. Not bad for a blog relying mostly on it's tags to drive in search engine based traffic. Not to mention that those numbers mean that real people actually visited the blogs, unlike many website counters and hosts which have inflated numbers due to search engine bots (google analytics will reveal reliable traffic stats). On that note the http://www.pghgalleries.com/ website has had just over 10,000 visitors for the year. So here's Post # 560! Hope to see more people bookmark and come back to the blog on a regular basis!

Pittsburgh Galleries Blog Updates and News April 2008

The Pittsburgh Galleries blog has reached a new high as far as traffic and new visitors! Over the last month it had 3,184 unique visits which included 5,689 page views! And those statistics actually involve real human beings (websites are hit a ton by bots which inflate numbers and website hosts stats are unreliable). Not bad for a blog which was started in August of 2007 and has built traffic mostly via people using google and other search engines. A few weeks ago a reporter from Forbes Magazine called me asking about Pittsburgh art galleries for a story and she found me via this blog which is pretty cool. Also the NCECA Ceramics Convention which came to Pittsburgh in March with over 4,500 visitors brought 1,179 people to this blog for the extensive guides and listings I put online. The goal now is to get people to spread the word and bookmark the blog to keep updated on all the Pittsburgh art events happening. If you know of an art event not listed just shoot me an email, rick@uniquetake.com , with all the info including the full address of venue and an image which will attract more attention.

This is a volunteer effort so donations of any size are welcome which can be made via paypal here . Also at that link anyone interested in purchasing banner space, which includes placement on this blog and websites, can sign up there. Banner design included. I have a google ad on the blog as well as ads on the supplementary website, http://www.pghgalleries.com/ , which lists all Pittsburgh area art galleries and venues. That site gets around 1,400 visits a month. The ads haven't brought in any money because there is a $100 threshhold which I may never get to, we'll see. Thank you to those who have recognized the work I'm putting in and those who have placed links for the blog on their websites and blogs.
