  • Yart Sale – Buy Art/Supplies/Baked Goods, Support Pittsburgh Center for the Arts

    Buy some art, support Pittsburgh Center for the Arts – this sounds like it will be a great Art Yard Sale! Make a day of it and enjoy Bach Beethoven and Brunch at Mellon park from 10:30-Noon.

    Join us in the PCA parking lot. Admission and parking are free for this lively, artistic spin on the traditional yard sale.

    Featuring over 30 individual artists and several PF/PCA departments bringing affordable original works, prints, decorative arts, art books, art supplies, equipment for art making, and some collectibles.

    Things are tight this year, so we thought we could make a little lemonade…We came up with the idea while trimming our budget, and cleaning out storage spaces.

    Our department of School and Community Programs will be holding a bake sale, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting that department, and teaching artists specifically.

    Ceramics-access Artist Members are producing ceramics to be donated to PCA, and sold to help pay for kiln repairs.

    Sunday, July 5 – 9:00am to 5:00pm.

  • FREE Folk Music Festival – Sat. July 12 – Mellon Park

    Calliope, Pittsburgh Folk Music Society, is hosting a day long celebration of folk music. The festival will take over Mellon Park in Shadyside from Noon to 10pm on Saturday, July 12. Lots of music acts, 2 stages and a children’s tent. All this is free. Calliope held their first music festival in 1977, it has long been called the Smokey City Music Festival. Since Pittsburgh has greened up its act this years music festival is named Rootz – The Green City Music Festival.

    The festival will kick off with a performance by bagpiper and Calliope founder George Balderose and will continue throughout the day, with performances by a variety of regional artists in styles from bluegrass and American traditional to singer-songwriters and blues. Concerts will take place on the main stage in Mellon Park and on the newly constructed pavilion at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. The festival will also include a children’s tent and a silk-screening station, where festival-goers can print their own Calliope t-shirts using eco-friendly recycled t-shirts.
