"SEEING PITTSBURGH"
(RE)Opens March 6, 2009
@ ARTica Art and Antiques
5110 Penn Avenue 7-9:30 pm
during Unblurred Art Crawl
The "eastern" Segments of "Seeing Pittsburgh" which ran through January 31, 2009 in celebration of Pittsburgh's 250th anniversary at the Rivers of Steel at the Bost Building, is coming to the ARTica Gallery thanks to the Passports Project! Originally, "Seeing Pittsburgh" showcased 44 Pittsburghers from eleven neighborhoods who, armed with cameras and the instructions to show us what defines their community, photographed the good, the bad, the new, the old, the physical, the emotional... and everything that defined their neighborhood. Come to Penn Avenue's Unblurred Art Crawl event on March 6 from 7-10 p.m and see it all again! ARTica is proud to host segments of the show which include, Bloomfield, Lawrenceville, Squirrel Hill, Point Breeze and the Hill District. The exhibit is up Thurdsays through Saturdays until March 28, 2009, or by appt.

SPRING 2010: Pittsburgh's First Art and Technology Festival
Friday, April 2 of 2010, the GA/GI (pronounced GAHgee) is Geek Arts and Green Innovators Festival-- the first arts and technology fest in the city of Pittsburgh with Passports Art Diversity Project serving as organizer and promoter. "We're excited to be doing this for the city," said Brenda Brown, Passports Co-founder. "It's high time, we showcased what this city has to offer in technology and ecology on a level where average people can see it, touch it and get involved."Instead of taking the festival to some lofty downtown site, Passports plans to utilize a popular monthly art crawl in the east end of Pittsburgh known as "Unblurred" for the event venue. Unblurred pulls its audienace from all over Southwest Pennsylvania with several neighborhoods within walking or bike riding distance distance. Plans for events include a fashion show with Eco wear and LED-lighted clothing, an Art Robots Show; technogy exhibitions, a fuel efficient car show, and vendors from a variety of eco-friendly companies.For additional information on how to get involved visit the GA/GI site. or e-mail passports.art@gmail.com.
