Miller, Mullen & Pohl Closes October 4th, 2024, 7 - 10 pm!
Featuring David Pohl’s band Mike Blackhurst and Wolf 8! Miller, Mullen and Pohl features mixed media collages, paintings and drawings that explore a variety of subjects, themes, and processes. Historically, all three artists share a tradition of working with experimental and discarded materials. Collectively, their work emanates from traditions that include neo-expressionism, figurative, abstract, and outsider/folk art. This new gathering of work expands upon past collaborative efforts in Pittsburgh via art, design, and music reaching back over 30 years. Each artist will present new work created for the exhibition.

This has got to be one of the finest community centers a city could have! Located on Penn Avenue in Garfield on the heart of galleries and shops. Irma Freeman was a Pittsburgh artist who was born in Germany. She worked as a painter with most of her impressionist landscapes being painted after she turned 70. The Center has all of the information and history on her interesting life from the very beginning.
I've been here several times for classes and exhibitions. In addition, they participate in Unblurred the first Friday of every month. It's nice to have them participate in this gallery crawl because they often have live bands in addition to works on display.
Some of the classes they offer include Zumba, Capoeira Angola (martial arts), Wing Tsun Kung Fu, African drum classes, as well as DIY projects and tech.
Another Pittsburgh gold mine that shouldn't be taken for granted. -Karla D.
Wonderful community center, gallery, and event center. I attended a poetry reading here, but they also host community events, classes, summer camps, and art exhibitions. Whether you attend a Yoga or art class here, it's an inviting and welcoming space that will expand your horizons and encourage your creativity. -David B.
The art was amazing and very interesting. What I saw was contemporary art that was incredibly thought provoking. The two people that were in there were very pleasant to chat with and knowledgeable about the art work. They even encouraged us to come back on the first Friday next month. I loved everything I saw so much and I look forward to my next visit here. -Sue T.
