1st Fridays on Penn + 2 days + 3 Great Neighborhoods + Many Awesome Events = Art Cubed (aka A Great Weekend of Pittsburgh Goodness.)

Goodness is a great word to describe this event.  Many people have been mentioning this weekend extravaganza to me over the past few months and the festivities are just days away.

• Friday
  • First Fridays on Penn Ave
    • My Recommendation – Check out the Sprout Fund Open House, 5423 Penn Ave from 6-10p,m
• Saturday
  • Proud Hood in East Liberty, Noon – 4 pm, activities for everyone – arts and performances
  • Lawrenceville Sidewalk Sale, all day
    • My Recommendation – check out Fresh Heirlooms @ 5218 Butler Street for great recycled gifts including plastic bag chickens.

Celebrate Green, Be Green.  Join local Green businesses in Lawrenceville to celebrate art from recyled materials and other eco friendly shopping for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Saturday, March 15, 11am-8pm.

Activities for the whole family.  Fresh Heirlooms is a new shop that sells furniture and home accessories made from recycled materials.  Some friends of mine have an awesome book shelf that was made here out of some old wire spools.  Artisian Harvest, a local bakery and cafe will be serving up Irish treats like Guinness Stew, scones and Irish soda bread for the occasion,
