Friday December 5 2008

Unblurred art crawl happens the first Friday of every month (Jan. may be an exception) on Penn Ave in Garfield, Friendship, East Liberty etc.

The schedule is always here.

Of particular note are:

7PM-10PM MODERNFORMATIONS GALLERY & PERFORMANCE SPACE - 4919 PENN AVE.KATHRYN COLE: BITS AND PIECES OF A PLACE 2008 This exhibit features the work of the 2008 Grand Prize Winner of Modernformations Annual Spring Salon, Kathryn Cole. It is an investigation into the qualities of the city Kathryn has been calling home for the last year. The work will be a collection of found objects and materials re-assembled into her impressions of this new place. Trained as a metalsmith and jeweler at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, she is attracted to the unique qualities of the “Steel City”, a rugged beaten sort of beauty. Kathryn says: I spend hours roaming the streets looking for little metal cast-offs and bits to be reincarnated in my impressions of the city. As a metal smith, I feel a unique bond to this “Steel City”. Each little metal scrap I find seems to have so much more importance because of where I have found it. Whether is it a crushed can or a part fallen off a truck, all of these bits are part of what Pittsburgh is. Perhaps using parts of this city will help me define it…www.modernformations.com 412-362-0274.

and

7PM-10PM THE CLAY PENN - 5111 PENN AVE. ANNUAL HOLIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA Exhibition featuring a variety of local and national artists. Please join us for wonderful art, gift ideas and holiday cheer. For more information please contact 412 951-6133, ljmclay@hotmail.com or laurajeanmclaughlin.com.

Clay Penn is not open every month so be sure to check in at the studio and gallery of the nationally known and amazing Artist Laura Jean McLaughlin.

steep in thought opens with first friday artwalk October 3 5:30 – 9:00pm
at morgan contemporary glass gallery

meet local artists Ed Eberle, Jon Schwarz and Ceil Sturdevant

teapots! steep in thought opens at morgan contemporary glass gallery, 5833 ellsworth avenue, on October 3, 2008. The show marks morgan’s 3rd invitational and its first thematic teapot exhibition, which challenges invited artists to respond to the ideas, issues and realities of the current social, political and environmental climate. Whether witty, serious, or satirical, each artist explores the form literally, metaphorically, narratively or abstractly.

More than 30 national and international artists have been selected to participate in this year’s exhibition, which will feature teapots in all media to capture the versatility of the teapot form as well as to convey the topical theme of the show. Selected artists include Alex Adams, Ellen Abbott & Marc Leva, Kate Anderson, Michael & Maureen Banner, Mary Beth Bellah, Tina Betz, Joan Dulla, Ed Eberle, Julie Elkins, Brian Frus, Grant Gramezy, Gregory Grenon, Jay Macdonell, Steven McGovney, Robert Mickelsen, Inge Roberts, Kari Russel-Pool, Kevin Snipes, Hisano Takei, Cheryl Tall, and Tim Tate. “Many of these artists have never made teapots”, notes gallery director Amy Morgan. “We ask that their pieces be representative of their work, and bear some resemblance to a teapot form. We never quite know what we’ll get.”

morgan contemporary glass gallery presents cutting-edge exhibitions and also features sculpture, small objects and jewelry by established and emerging artists working with glass. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11 am to 5 pm and Saturday, 12 to 5 pm, or by appointment. For more information call 412-441-5200 or visit our website at http://www.morganglassgallery.com/ .

Pittsburgh Art Event Guide August 1, 2 2008

There are enough compelling Pittsburgh art events to cause some juggling this weekend! Thursday from 7-10 pm is the AAP Annual at the Warhol opening and Friday we have 3 major events: unblurred in garfield and bloomfield (most galleries start at 7pm, some 6pm so see schedule), mendelson's salon des refuse along with the other galleries in shadyside which make up the first friday crawl (5-9 pm), and fumino hora at the pittsburgh filmmakers galleries (5:30-8pm) .

and Saturday there's arty party which runs from noon til dusk and a Lawrenceville Community Art Day from 1-3pm.

I'll be attending Unblurred on Friday and the first stretch of Arty Party on Sat for sure and will hopefully motivate earlier and check out Mendelson and Pgh Filmmakers as well. It's all possible from a timing standpoint (given there's a vehicle of some sort).

A current schedule for the Unblurred Art Crawl can always be found here.

Logically you could check out Shadyside then Pgh Filmmakers and then Unblurred but that assumes a lot!

Be sure to check the links above for all the info.

Update: Serendipity has a run down here.

First Friday Art Walk Salon des Refuse Mendelson, Ellsworth Ave Shadyside

First Friday Art Walk on Ellsworth Ave in Shadyside Every First Friday of the month from 5-9pm

Friday August 1st, 2008 will feature Salon des Refuse. Salon des Refuse is an annual art event where Mendelson Gallery owner Steve chooses work which has been rejected by the juror of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annual exhibit. I saw most of the pieces chosen by Steve Mendelson during the AAP screening and it looks like it will be a great exhibit ( no surprise there!).

Keep an eye out for David Edward's new sculpture titled "Social Climber". The Mendelson Gallery is located at 5874 Ellsworth Avenue in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh. The exhibition, titled "Salon des Refuse" opens August 1, 2008 and runs through the month. The August 1 opening coordinates with The First Friday Event and festivities on Ellsworth Ave.

http://www.Mendelsongallery.net

The First Friday Art Walk also includes Gallerie Chis, Bella Arte, Gallery in the Square, Morgan Contemporary Glass, and Wax Jewelry Design.
