Pittsburgh Artist Maria Mangano's South Side Slope Shrines



kapliczka pl. kapliczek : wayside shrine

etymology: Polish, diminutive of kaplica (chapel)


kapliczek (shrines) is an exploration of forgotten past in forgotten spaces.

The shrines are memorials paying silent and decaying tribute to a history I never witnessed, pieced together from books, photos, and anecdotes. It is not only the story of my changed and changing neighborhood, with its new faces, abandoned churches, and crumbling walls, but also the story of my Polish ancestors, whose history and identity are becoming lost with the passage of time and memory.

Through this piece, I search for my neighborhood's past and the influence it has on my identity as a transplant to Pittsburgh and a descendant of Polish immigrants. My hope is that others will visit the kapliczek and respond to the space, influenced by their own histories remembered and forgotten.

The Pittsburgh Art Blog

pittsburgh galleries is reborn anew as The Pittsburgh Art Blog. the 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 art advocate rick byerly, www.RickByerly.com.

Seeing Jazz: A Tribute to the Masters and Pittsburgh Jazz Legends

Reception: Thursday, February 5 from 6–9 p.m. including a special performance by the MCG Jazz Class of 2008 Legends and a book signing by "Pittsburgh Jazz" author John Brewer

Manchester Craftsmen's Guild (MCG) is collaborating with artist and curator Gwendolyn Black to present Seeing Jazz: a Tribute to the Masters and Pittsburgh Jazz Legends. The exhibition will showcase works by well-known masters along with some of today's noted contemporary artists, all of whom have inspired many through their artworks dedicated to jazz. Master artists include Romare Bearden, Faith Ringgold, Allen Stringfellow, Benny Andrews, Fred Brown, Richard Mayhew, Chuck Stewart and Edmund Yaghjian.Nearly ten years ago Gwendolyn Black created and introduced Visual Expressions on Jazz, which has been a recognized event for the past several years at the Annual JVC Jazz Festival in New York. To highlight Pittsburgh’s historic contributions to jazz, the exhibition will fittingly kick off a planned national tour starting at MCG in Pittsburgh’s North Side. Black’s motivation for organizing the exhibition is to “give more visibility to visual artists who not only listen to jazz music while working but who have also been at the forefront of documenting and supporting jazz music through their art.” When Seeing Jazz: a Tribute to the Masters arrives at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild in January, the exhibition will coincide with the conclusion of the City’s 250th anniversary and will include a special focus on legends from the steel city including a slide show of Teenie Harris photographs from the Pittsburgh Courier archive.


*Please Excuse Us. Factors beyond our control have delayed the full installation of this exhibition a week from the originally scheduled opening date. We hope you’ll come back to see the show in its entirety after January 25, 2009 and join us for the reception that is free and open to the public.

Manchester Craftsmen's Guild is housed along with its sister organization, Bidwell Training Center, in a 62,000 square foot facility located at 1815 Metropolitan Street on Pittsburgh's North Shore. Hours of operation are 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Designed by architect Tasso Katsalas, a pupil of Frank Lloyd Wright, Manchester Craftsmen's Guild houses visual arts and recording studios, classrooms, galleries, a cafeteria, concert hall and conference rooms designed to showcase the roles of creativity and craftsmanship in learning. Natural light pouring in through windows and skylights, terracotta-toned masonry framing archways and circular portals evoke stylistic influences of indigenous African architecture. The building's sense of warmth permeates the organizations' work with the arts and career education. Handmade objects, furniture, photographs and paintings that adorn public and private spaces create a model environment for education, exhibitions, performances and social and professional gatherings.

North Side Celebration in the Park VI July 26, 2008


Celebration in the Park VI

July 26, 2008 at Allegheny Commons Park

Eclectic and Fun… Best Describes the North Side 2008 Celebration in the Park VI This year marks the Sixth Annual North Side Celebration in the Park on Saturday, July 26, from noon to 5:00p.m. in Allegheny Commons Park near Cedar Avenue. Join the North Side/ North Shore Chamber of Commerce along with North Side native, Jack “Johnny Angel” Hunt (Johnny Angel and the Halos), Chairperson of the event.

An activity packed day for all ages includes a chance to: see the Rodfathers of Butler Car Cruise; hear the Manchester Craftsmen’s All Star Jazz Group; test your knowledge of the North Side with the Children’s Museum "Where is Allegheny City Treasure Hunt"; see and make giant puppets and participate in the puppet parades featuring puppet cars; buy cool stuff from the Handmade Arcade artist vendors; eat great festival food; take a step back in time with Heinz History Center Pittsburgh 250 Tent; bring the kids so they can bounce, ride the train and meet really cool animals in the park both real and mascots; visit the Allegheny General Hospital Wellness Tent; take a bicycle ride around the North Side courtesy of Venture Outdoors; explore the public safety vehicles on display and check out the rest of the exhibitors and vendors that will be on hand for the day!

Each year the event offers a new creative theme for the Celebration. Jack, an active member in a number of car cruise groups was instrumental in organizing the car cruise that could be 250 classic cars or more on display that day. The puppet parade will also embrace the car cruise theme with handmade cars that were made by local children in workshops that were held by local Puppet Maker, Cheryl Capezzuti. A portion of the day will go to the dogs with a version of Canine Idol/beauty contest that has been promoted by The Animal Rescue League, Comcast and DogLogic.

The North Side Celebration in the Park from the inception has been designed to be uniquely North Side because of our abundance of cultural resources, artists and civic organizations. Celebration in the Park offers unique opportunities for parents, children, and people of all ages to enjoy cultural activities and educational experiences as well.

The schedules are out for South Side Works Exposed. Click on the 2 Images below to see all the music and art going on. (There are activities for all ages.) More info below as well.


I'm a market artist at this event and am personally looking forward to all the events! This festival is known for supporting emerging artists trying to make it.

The hours for the festival are 5pm to 11pm (July 11th), 11am to 11pm (July 12th), and 12pm to 7pm (July 13th).

I'm a market artist at this event and am personally looking forward to all the events! This festival is known for supporting emerging artists trying to make it. The dates for South Side Works Exposed Event 2008 have been set for July 11th, 12th, and 13th of 2008! The hours for the festival are 5pm to 11pm (July 11th), 11am to 11pm (July 12th), and 12pm to 7pm (July 13th).
Update: Schedules listed here.

SouthSide Works Exposed is an amazing mix of a music festival, artist market, and sidewalk sales ... but most of all a celebration of art in life. The setting for the event is in and around the Town Square of SouthSide Works. Within the music festival you may get to see local, semi-national, national, and cultural performances. Gathered in the Artist's Market 27th Street Strip you will get to see some of Pittsburgh's newest exciting artists, along with some old favorites who have supported the Pittsburgh arts for years.
You can find a list of participating artists here.
Located at the 27th Street Strip, South Side, Pittsburgh, PA, 15203
