3 Rivers Arts Festival: The Art of Technology

Looks like a good start to shedding the 3 Rivers Food Festival hangover this festival has had for quite some time (that and the focus on many out of state market artists which still continues). You be the judge and check it aht for yourselves!


June 4-13 2010

The exhibits and performances may change the way we view art and technology, and help us to better realize the unlimited potential of each. Plus, they offer us some downright good times that are sure to benefit everyone’s Festival experience. Ranging from digital puppetry to interactive sculptures and robots, video installations, and an interactive exhibit requiring text messages from viewers. Following are a few glimpses into what you will see on the visual arts side; we’ll cover performances in another post.

David Edwards’ 14′ tall sculpture made from 80% recycled aluminum takes the shape of a potted sunflower. Its wind-powered spinning petals transform wind into energy using a micro wind turbine. In addition, there are flexible solar panels that collect energy for programmable LED lighting. This exhibit and others can be seen at Point State Park.

Pittsburgh Power Flower News Art and Green Technology

Visionary Pittsburgh artist David Edwards has been busy with the Power Flowers. He recently won an award for creativity from the Pgh Tech Council and has been educating local students and the general population with the Power Flowers.

Two Power Flowers will be at the 3 Rivers Arts Festival for the duration of the 10 days from June 4-13, 2010.

From David Edwards:

The Power Flower is a 12' wind driven kinetic sculpture in the form of a potted sunflower. Sun and wind energy are collected with a wind turbine driven by spinning flower petals and photo voltaic solar film leaf surfaces. A 55 gallon rainwater collector serves as base and ballast. The flower provides DC power for laptops, phones or water pump features. The sculpture also powers colored LED lighting for dynamic night illumination. A weather-proof controller maintains safe power levels and timed programmable lighting. The sculpture is transportable and sets up easily for events and exhibitions. Our sculptures are created for use by city art festivals, botanical associations, schools and museums to complement their missions. We design, sell and implement both permanent eco-artworks and transportable designs and workshops.

Three Rivers Arts Festival Makes Move to Return to Pittsburgh Artist Roots!

Wow, a big change for the Three Rivers Arts Festival:

...One way that we are returning to our roots in the Juried Exhibition is by limiting submissions to artists living in the Greater Pittsburgh region, which we’ve defined as roughly within 100 miles of Pittsburgh.

from the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust:

I wanted to make sure that you (and hopefully, by extension, the readers of your Pittsburgh arts blog) are aware of two new opportunities for artists at the 2010 Three Rivers Arts Festival. I think it will be interesting to note, particularly for the New Juried Exhibition, that we are hoping to branch well beyond the bounds of the “traditional” Juried Show that was part of the Festival in years past. In that show, submissions were accepted in only a few categories of media – painting, sculpture, photography, film, and a few others. In our reimagined exhibition, we’re getting rid of strict categories to encourage a diversity of works and viewpoints and encourage interesting collaborations.

That said, one way that we are returning to our roots in the Juried Exhibition is by limiting submissions to artists living in the Greater Pittsburgh region, which we’ve defined as roughly within 100 miles of Pittsburgh. You can find an exact listing of eligible counties in the prospectus and application.

New Juried Visual Art Exhibition

Back by popular demand, this juried exhibition will showcase the Pittsburgh region's vibrant creative community. The exhibition will take place at an indoor Cultural District gallery during the 2010 Three Rivers Arts Festival, June 4-13, in downtown Pittsburgh.

Submissions are welcome from across the spectrum of visual arts. Works will be juried by a panel of Pittsburgh-based artists and curators.

Artists who meet residence requirements may enter up to three qualifying individual pieces for jury. The goal of the New Juried Arts Exhibition is to showcase the best art produced in the Pittsburgh region. Decisions will be based solely on aesthetic quality as determined by the jury panel in an anonymous jury process.

More information: http://www.artsfestival.net/visualart/juried-visual-art-2010.html
Download a prospectus and application: http://www.artsfestival.net/TRAF_Juried_Art_Fill_In_Application.pdf

Artist questions about the New Juried Visual Art Exhibition (i.e. does my work qualify?) should be directed to Sonja Sweterlitsch at 412-471-3191 or Sweterlitsch@pgharts.org.

2010 Poster Contest

Three Rivers Arts Festival and City Paper invite you to submit your best artwork for the 2010 Three Rivers Arts Festival poster. The winning artwork will creatively represent Three Rivers Arts Festival's mission to connect the community to the arts.

The grand prize winning design will be used to help promote the 2010 Three Rivers Arts Festival throughout the Pittsburgh region. Four winning designs will be produced as posters – and there are cash awards as well!

THREE RIVERS ARTS FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES 2009 DATES
50th Anniversary Three Rivers Arts Festival, June 5-14, 2009

PITTSBURGH – The 50th annual Three Rivers Arts Festival, a programming division of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, will be held in downtown Pittsburgh June 5-14, 2009. The 2009 Festival will include the Artists Market, live outdoor concerts, family-friendly events and visual arts.

“In response to feedback from participating artists and audiences, we have decided to change the festival to a new 10-day format,” said J. Kevin McMahon, president and CEO of The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. “Given our planning timeline and current budget, the concentrated period will allow us to focus on ensuring the quality of the programming.”

At 10 days, the Three Rivers Arts Festival remains the largest and longest free cultural event in Pittsburgh, and is still one of the longest multidisciplinary arts festivals in the United States.

“Because the Festival is a destination event, we expect attendance to be comparable to recent years regardless of its duration,” added Mr. McMahon. “We are working quickly to line up diverse programming that will attract visitors from around the region.” Past attendance estimates have ranged from 400,000 to 600,000 attendees.

The Artists Market will continue in its traditional home at One, Two and Three Gateway Center Plaza. Full programming details will be released in the spring.

thanks for the heads up go to friend Jim Storch:

Just wanted to let you know that I'm participating in the Fantastic Voyagers 2 Festival this weekend at ModernFormations gallery. Curated by Mike Tamburo, this festival has a mind-boggling array of performers spread out over Saturday and Sunday. I'll be performing at 7:00 PM on Sunday. Here's a link to more information:

http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A55642

Local experimental musician Mike Tamburo -- known for his work with Arco Flute Foundation; his solo guitar, dulcimer and electronic music; and his label, New American Folk Hero -- has been known to spend months out of the year touring. His latest venture, though, is kind of like a tour in reverse: Instead of exporting Tamburo from Pittsburgh, he's bringing folks he's met while on the road into town for his second annual Fantastic Voyagers festival, a two-day event taking place this weekend at ModernFormations Gallery.
