“The Salvation of Art: Pittsburgh by Pittsburgh Artists 5” is a curation of works returning to its previous popular exhibition theme: Pittsburgh! The artistic aesthetics range from found objects to hyper-realistic representations of Pittsburgh, including personal Pittsburgh stories. The definition of “the Salvation of Art” can be defined as symbolic or literal, as in saving and keeping of art. These masterful artists bring expressions of unique aspects of Pittsburgh, from the point of view of current or past Pittsburgh city dwellers. Gallery hours Sundays or by appointment. Tours, workshops and classes available all about Pittsburgh Art! Artwork will be up through November 15.
