If you haven’t yet heard of GLUE than I am excited to share this with you. Abby Wilson who is from Pittsburgh and her friend Sarah Szurpicki is from Detroit (full dicloser – I have know Abby for 14 years). Abby and Sarah started GLUE last fall to look at the cities in the Great Lakes area and see what is working and what isn’t working. These cities are a lot like Pittsburgh, post industrial and each city has lots of great stuff to share.

The Distillery Program at the Brew House Association is an exciting new program that acts as a stepping-stone for participants as they move towards new phases of artistic production and career development. This pilot program addresses the current need for relevant career/professional development opportunities related to the arts as well as exhibition opportunities, and support for working artists by providing individuals with a supportive and dynamic arena in which to pursue studio practice, career development, and an exhibition opportunity in the SPACE 101 gallery during the 2007-2008 season.

Over the course of the six-month program, participants will engage in a series of workshops and dialogues on topics relevant to career opportunities in the arts with Pittsburgh art professionals at the Brew House. Participants meet regularly for studio visits and peer critiques, discussions with guest curators, critics, and other working artists. The culmination of these sessions will be a group exhibition of newly produced work by the participants at Brew House Space 101 Gallery.
