Amy's Army & Charity Bar Crawl

I have seen posters for Amy’s Army before but I wasn’t really sure what this is all about.  I had the opportunity to meet some of the volunteers from Amy’s Army this evening at Discover Pittsburgh.  Amy is a 15 year old girl from Mt. Lebanon – she was diagnosed with Leukemia about 5 years ago but they have not found a bone marrow match.  Amy’s Army is a group of volunteers who are working to get more people registered with the national bone marrow registry.

Getting registered is easy – it is a swab of your cheek and the kit can be sent right to your home or you can get registered when you give blood.

You can also support Amy’s Army by joining their Charity Bar Crawl this Saturday, May 17, 2008.  The bar crawl is just $10 and everything benefits Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

PUMP Quiz Night is Back

Last month’s PUMP Quiz night was really great – 3 rounds of trivia with fun prizes for all.  A great way to spend a few hours sharpening your brain.

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.
