The 14th Annual Art All Night is looking for artists who want to participate in a LIVE collaborative painting event at this year's all-night art extravaganza. The painting will take place from 4 p.m. Saturday, April 30th to 2 a.m. Sunday, May 1st.We need several artists who can embody Lawrenceville's collaborative spirit and partner w...ith other artists to build on each other's work. Throughout the night, artists will be matched up, given a theme and a very large canvas and set free. Each artist will be assigned a limited block of time and the crowd will watch as the artistic visions evolve. The resulting art will benefit future Art All Night events.

Interested? Contact Art All Night's on-site art team at onsiteart(AT)artallnight.org, for more information.

Benefit Art Exhibition for the Kullu Valley Bike Project at Mendelson Gallery

Opening Reception: Thursday, Jan. 20th 6 - 9 pm
Refreshments with music by the David Landes Trio

Also open on
Friday, Jan. 21st 2011 Noon - 5 pm
Saturday, Jan. 22nd Noon - 5 pm

Mendelson Gallery
5874 Ellsworth Avenue in Shadyside

Several months ago, during a Penn Avenue Unblurred, an open community painting party took place at Bob Ziller's studio: Spread out on the floor were three 30 ft. sheets of archival watercolor paper. Cheerful participants then rode bicycles with painted tires across the paper - the results are the remarkable paintings on display, priced from $50 to $1000.

Proceeds from the sale of these artworks will benefit the Kullu Valley Bike Project, working in tandem with Kullu Project and PGH East Rotary Club, enabling local bike missionary Grady Minnis to set up a cooperative bike center at the Kullu Orphanage in India's beautiful Kullu Valley.
