New Guild Studio’s Holiday Open House

I was already going to post about this event because anything that is happening in Braddock is usually worth a visit. So when I received this email from the Deputy Mayor of Braddock I knew it would be worth a look. A chance to do some holiday shopping in Braddock (and not the mall) in another plus.
I then looked up the website for New Guild Studios – www.newguildstudio.com
New Guild Studio is definitly worth a visit – they specialize in religious art – restoration or construction of some large scale pieces.

I have always wondered who works on these types of things, especially after a visit to St. Nicholas Church – if you haven’t stopped in there yet – the murals are AMAZING.

Focus412 presents Carmon Rinehart

Carmon Rinehart

For those of you that may not know, Flickr is a photosharing blog that allows people to not only talk about their lives, but show the world what it looks like through the lens of their camera. Pittsburgh is fortunate enough to have one of the more active groups around, and in an attempt to bolster this, we have created Focus412. Basically, Focus412 is a monthly photography show that features the talents of some of Pittsburgh’s finest and most eclectic photographers. This Saturday, we will be showcasing the Carmon Rinehart. Bring your camera (we’re not snobs, any camera will do), come knock back a beer with us, and have some fun. Our shows are held at Remedy, which is located at 5121 Butler Street in Lawrenceville. The party starts at 8.
