1950's Finest Fashion Salon

This weekend, Gretchen Harnick, chair of the Art Institute‘s fashion program, will team with Pittsburgh-based e-tailer Modcloth to present “1950s Finest Fashion Salon,” a fundraiser to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The event, to be held at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts in Shadyside, will feature clothes from 15 lines carried on Modcloth.com. Modcloth donated all the clothes for the event and will also donate 10% of its sales on Friday, July 25th to the CFF.

Fashion lovers will enjoy a champagne lunch and a chance to get up close and personal with the indie designs featured in the show.

The show is Saturday, July 18th. It begins at 11am and runs until about 2pm. Afternoon cocktail attire is appropriate.

Tickets are $30 and are available through the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

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.
