A Great Time had at The Sprout Fund’s Preliminary Design Exhibition

This past Thursday, Concept Art Gallery in Regent Square, hosted The Sprout Fund’s annual Preliminary Design Exhibition. The event was meant to provide a sneak peek into the proposed mural designs for this year’s mural sites. The exhibition showcased 19 talented local artists each competing for one of the eight mural sites. Throughout the evening artists, community members, friends and family came to check out the designs, mingle with fellow community members, and eat food generously provided by the Square Cafe. There are a couple pictures from the event posted below. Keep your eyes peeled for eight new murals sprouting up this summer!

This year’s preliminary design exhibition features 20 talented local artists, each competing for one of the 8 community mural sites. The showcased preliminary mural designs were created in response to the ideas of subject matter generated by each community group and act as proposals from each artist expressing how he or she might translate these ideas into a work of public art.

Please join us for this exhibition which represents an exciting step in a summer-long interaction of community ideas and artistic vision coming together to change the landscape of Pittsburgh and the surrounding communities of Allegheny County.
