This will be a group show where artists are invited to enter up to three pieces of found/collected or constructed/created art or artifacts related to Pittsburgh. All forms of media are acceptable, including audio, video, posters, prints, paintings, drawings, installations, state of the art technology, or artifacts. All art or artifacts must be accompanied by a biography of the artist/collector, and an Artist Statement of how the submission(s) relate to the above theme. Be aware that the statement and the biography may be edited as deemed appropriate or necessary by the curator. PLEASE note we would like a unique perspective of Pittsburgh, other than the beautiful, but often seen, downtown skylines. WE would like to include pieces that may contribute to the flavor of Pittsburgh’s diversity, including its history and neighborhoods. Also note Pittsburgh Artists may include relocated artists, either those who are no longer living in Pittsburgh, or people who have moved here from somewhere else. Artwork of by posthumous artists may also be submitted. This is a juried exhibition. There is no guarantee that one or all of your submissions will be accepted, although we encourage both emerging and extablished artists to submit work.
