These conversations have evolved into this project. There are a number of vibrant and engaged artists, organizations and makers of all kinds in the region, come and hear some of them discuss what they do and see some of their work. Presses will be up and running for hands on printing.

Western PA

Exhibition Opening: Rethinking Pittsburgh’s Industrial Legacy
Workshop, vendor tables (AIR Open Studio, Justseeds, Shaw Galleries), refreshments

Events are free and open to the public

Did the industrial legacy end with deindustrialization? Rethinking Pittsburgh’s Industrial Legacy is a vibrant and critical new assessment of the region’s relationship with industry, telling an alternate history of industrialization that grapples with its material, social, and psychological effects, and calling attention to industry’s ongoing impact.

The artists in this exhibit, many with ties to Western Pennsylvania, explore the ways in which industry and deindustrialization inform our sense of place and our sense of possibility.

The symposium will be moderated by Sarah Hall, curator of TheFrick Museum, and will coincide with the opening of the exhibit on Saturday April 16, 2011 at 5:00pm.
