From Lindsay: another great event suggestion from Treading Art! I’m particularly interested in seeing the photos from the DETROIT artists. If you are interested in Detroit and other rust belt cities – keep an eye on the
GLUE (Great Lakes Urban Exchange) Facebook page here.
Treading Art has been putting together an amazing list of weekend events around Pittsburgh. Each week we feature one of the events from their Weekend Treadings list.
This weeks Treader’s Choice event is an awesome opening reception at the Mattress Factory. Check out all of Treading Art suggestions for this weekend here.
Opening Receptions: Janine Antoni, DETROIT: Artists in Residence and Chiharu Shiota: Trace of Memory
Several Detroit Artists in Residence works are reaction to socio-economic status of Detroit Michigan. Janine Antoni brings to question the human condition by interacting directly with the viewers and Chiharu Shiota’s exhibition is christening the new 516 Sampsonia space. Show up early! They expect a full house.
Mattress Factory @ 500 Sampsonia Way- Mexican War Streets
7-9pm // $15 adults, $10 students
About Treading Art
From artist studio tours to in-depth interviews, TreadingArt.com offers a wide range of Pittsburgh-centric content focused on the arts and culture. The website is a resource for Western PA residents to learn about and engage with their creative communities. This includes everything from music, food and brews to visual art and literature. Features such as photography posts, local guides or exhibition reviews invite residents to participate in the redevelopment of their city or stay informed of the excitement directly from the website.
The Weekend Treadings is another unique feature to Treading Art. Every week we produce a curated list of events that highlights distinct experiences happening around town from Thursday through Sunday. This is available every Thursday and can be viewed on the website or delivered to your inbox. The Weekend Treadings newsletter also gives readers an opportunity to receive exclusive invitations to Treading Art produced events.
Treading Art is run by Christine Smith and Melissa LuVisi, both of whom are transplants from Northern California. We were drawn to Pittsburgh by its thriving arts community, large number of working artists and the welcoming environment for entrepreneurs. Immediately upon moving here we felt a connection with the city’s sense of pride and collaborative nature.
