Be Artsy in April!

There is a full weekend of arts events in Pittsburgh as April draws to a close.  The art starts this Friday, April 29th with downtown’s seasonal Gallery Crawl.   The Gallery Crawl is a free quarterly showcase of art and entertainment in the heart of the Cultural District. All events take place at a variety of galleries and spaces and are FREE and open to the public. The event is ongoing between 5:30 and 9:00 pm, and patrons may start at any location. 

Then on Saturday, get out to the Lawrenceville neighborhood to experience Art All Night.  Art All Night is a free annual celebration of arts and community.  This year it will be held in the Iron City Brewery at 3340 Liberty Avenue where visual artists and performers will gather to provide you with nearly 24 hours worth of sensory overload.   The event starts at 4pm on Saturday and will last overnight into Sunday afternoon.

So go out, indulge you senses, and enjoy this great warm weather!
