PGH's art scene is exploding onto a national level, and we should all be nurturing that idea. What's good for one organization is good for us all. Whether it is an organization on the South Side or in Oakland or the West End, we are a small city and need to help each other out to benefit the greater good.

I was very impressed with the studios and people occupying the building. The group of young people there were very positive and talented - I can't wait for them to overcome this little setback as I saw a very large potential in the spaces and people there. I think the key factor here, is that this institution is trying to contribute to the vastly growing arts scene in Pittsburgh - which we desperately need. Most importantly, I hope we can come together as a community to save such an institution from such a demise. I believe they are accepting volunteer help as I know they are working tirelessly to bring the building into good standing. I have many friends there whom have mentioned that volunteer help will be very graciously accepted. Thanks for helping to make others aware.LVLARTSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29712953.post-43142471810021679192009-09-11T21:40:19.717-04:002009-09-11T21:40:19.717-04:00Everybody that's ever been involved in the Bre...Everybody that's ever been involved in the Brew House has wanted to "turn the "old" stigma of the Brew House into what its true potential is." Do you think the group that is currently in residence are more talented or energetic than previous tenants?<br /><br />Frankly, any building that is as distressed as the Brew House is a squat. Smelled any pigeon droppings lately? Until 3 months ago, I was still doing programming there, I really doubt it has improved that much in such a short amount of time.sushttp://oranje.susanconstanse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29712953.post-48103145783271838412009-09-11T16:15:40.281-04:002009-09-11T16:15:40.281-04:00Not sure how long you've been out of the Brew ...Not sure how long you've been out of the Brew House, but the current crop of residents are a very energetic and dedicated group that wants nothing more than to turn the "old" stigma of the Brew House into what its true potential is. Most of us cringe when we hear the word "squat" because the BH is in no way what that word implies. The Brew house is full of professional artist studios and workshops. It is a work space, a live space and a community space. The high quality of work coming out of there also shows the demeanor and professionalism of the artists as well as the importance of the BH as a local arts institution.bhxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29712953.post-44911614995976542382009-09-10T08:40:13.063-04:002009-09-10T08:40:13.063-04:00Well, I'm sure that they would welcome any ide...Well, I'm sure that they would welcome any ideas.sushttp://oranje.susanconstanse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29712953.post-90862123680256719782009-09-10T06:53:28.062-04:002009-09-10T06:53:28.062-04:00Wow, what a bummer!
