While, many of us feel the Post Gazette still ignores far to much of our grass roots local art scene, it does a pretty good job covering many of the major museum shows.
Here's a Fall Art's Preview of major regional shows @ The Carnegie, The Frick, The Butler, The Westmoreland and more. Very well laid out. As I said, I think if you haven't visited Pittsburgh yet, now might be a great time to spend a week here--or just a few days, if that's what you got.
Cleveland area museums are not included in this list.

Pittsburgh To Cleveland Monthly Art Recap
Very sorry, I have let the blog slide so much but thankfully a few people have at least kept it on life support.I've been busy and also lost on twitter, which has captured me with it's easy style and immediacy as a quick, open way to spark conversations or transfer info.
Also, in the time blog has been around, the almost complete lack of online coverage has been filled by many awesome sources from POP CITY, to Steeltown Anthem, The Pittsburgh Art Blog City Creative to the trusty, I Heart Pittsburgh. IMHO, what this blog can add to this might be a greater regional awareness.
So I'm promising to bring back the monthly regional rundown of shows and events outside Pittsburgh from Johnstown to Cleveland.
Cleveland
Cleveland Museum Of Art (some highlights)
Kim Beom: Objects Being Taught They Are Nothing But Tools
CLE OP: Cleveland Op Art Pioneers

The Cleveland Museum has one of the largest and strongest asian art collections anywhere and there are several more Asian art exhibitions up. See all

The museum also runs a number of satelite exhibit spaces (Why is this so rare?) but honestly, their website can make it hard to know whats up where.
Sydney Cash: Sculpture (Beecher Center, Youngstown)
"This exhibition features sculpture in which glass panels act as lenses that has reflective silver and/or copper imagery. This lens is mounted perpendicularly onto a wall or into a corner, and then illuminated with carefully targeted light. This results in reflected imagery above and cast shadows below the lens. These light sculptures change and intensify the background color, animating a wall's vertical plane."
OK, pooped, will do better next month.

Cleveland
Cleveland Museum Of Art (some highlights)
Kim Beom: Objects Being Taught They Are Nothing But Tools
"First solo museum exhibition in the United States of the work of Korean artist Kim Beom. The exhibition includes three new mixed-media installations and selections of drawings from 1994 to the present. It will be on view in the museum’s 1,800-square-foot project gallery from November 13, 2010, until March 6, 2011."
CLE OP: Cleveland Op Art Pioneers
"During Op’s heyday in the 1960s, several artists who studied and worked in Cleveland became internationally known for their vital contributions to the movement. In addition, Cleveland was home to the only artist collaborative in the United States devoted to Op. Drawn primarily from the CMA’s permanent holdings and supplemented with loans from private collections, CLE OP: Cleveland Op Art Pioneers showcases work by key figures in the local Op Art scene during its formative years."
Indian Kalighat Paintings
"This exhibition of Kalighat paintings will allow visitors an opportunity to view these rarely displayed Indian paintings, considered to be the beginning of modernism in Indian art. Originally created as souvenirs for nineteenth-century tourists, and regarded as a response to the sudden prosperity brought to Calcutta by the East India Company, the innovative and influential paintings are now highly regarded elements of museum and private collections. Motifs explored in the artwork include religious themes, Western material influence, and commentary regarding the changing social order. These highly stylized and brightly colored paintings also mock the newly affluent and depict contemporary newsworthy figures."
The Cleveland Museum has one of the largest and strongest asian art collections anywhere and there are several more Asian art exhibitions up. See all
MOCA Cleveland
Teresita Fernández : Blind LandscapeOn view January 28th, 2011 through May 8th, 2011
"Teresita Fernández is internationally known for immersive installations and evocative large-scale sculptures that address space, light, and perception. Made with polished stainless steel, glass, and other materials including plastic and graphite, Fernández's abstract sculptures incorporate reflection, light, and shadow in poetic, sometimes luminous formations that suggest natural phenomena. This survey presents a spectrum of the artist's most recent and ambitious projects created between 2005 and 2010. Featured among the exhibition's ten works is the artist's latest graphite and steel sculpture." (These things look really cool)
Lorri Ott : passive voicesOn view January 28th, 2011 through May 8th, 2011
In her new body of small-scale assemblages, artist Lorri Ott transforms synthetic and natural materials into poignant, evocative subjects. Through a process that is both calculated and spontaneous, Ott combines glossy colored resin with mundane found objects like rags, asphalt, and cardboard to create subtle but potent contrasts in form, technique, and medium. In rehabilitating banal objects to new life, Ott gives each work a unique yet ambiguous voice that supplants her own.

"Machine Project operates as a loose confederacy of artists producing shows at locations ranging from the Santa Monica beach to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. In addition they recently developed a year long project exploring how visitors experience the Hammer Museum. Within the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, Machine Project is a non-profit community space investigating art, technology, natural history, science, music, literature, and food. Within the Echo Park storefront as well as in projects held elsewhere they produce events, workshops, and site-specific installations using hands-on engagement to make rarefied knowledge accessible."

April Regional Arts and Museum Roundup
A few interesting and very interesting arts events and shows in the greater Cleveburgh region. Actually, an understatement, this might be a good month for a road trip. Themes for the month seem to be African American Artists, Pattern In Contemporary Art, Folk Art and Craft, Lush Abstract Painting, Native American Art.
You can send your event to --- diggingpitt@gmail.com but I will only be posting a few.

Pattern ID @ The Akron Art Museum
January 23, 2010 - May 9, 2010
Karl and Bertl Arnstein Galleries
This show at The Akron about the use of pattern in contemporary art has been getting a lot of buzz and might very well be worth the trip.
"Over the last two decades, artists have increasingly turned to pattern and dress as a language with which to communicate who they are and where they come from. The experiences of culture clash, immigration and multi-ethnicity in our globalized world have driven artists to use this visual language to chart their personal and communal histories. Through pattern and dress, artists compress time and cross geographic boundaries to illustrate the various influences that inform their cultural identities. The artists freely mix motifs from popular culture, history and art history to transform the meanings of patterns. Pattern ID features 15 artists of diverse origins who have seized on pattern and dress as powerful visual connectors between themselves, their histories and their audiences."

Making It Better
Folk Arts In Pennsylvania Today (Show ends April 11)
Main Gallery
January 15, 2010 through April 11, 2010
“Making It Better” tells the story of 30 artists who work within and for their respective communities. The art, coming from every corner of the state, represents a wide array of traditions such as African dance, stonewall construction, Aztec clay flutes, Pysanky eggs, contemporary blacksmith work, and Vietnamese funerary portraits. Objects, photographs, film, music and interactive stations allow visitors to experience these traditions with all their senses. Dispelling the notions that folk art is “quaint” and “something from the past” this exhibit demonstrates that although most traditional arts are rooted in centuries’ old practices; they are meeting the needs of those living in very modern times."
Opening April 24th 87th annual juried Spring Show

Art of the American Indians: The Thaw Collection
MARCH 7–MAY 30, 2010
Admission free (Please donate if you can or become a member)
We all know the ethics behind the collection of art from most traditional cultures. not only was it theft, but for most people these were not just "art", but a living part of their identity, life and religion. Bottom line is see these amazing objects while you can from the Eugene and Clare Thaw Collection of American Indian Art at the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
MOCA : Cleveland (Looks Like Another Must See Show!!!!!)
From Then to Now : Masterworks of Contemporary African American Art
On view January 29th, 2010 through May 9th, 2010
"Unprecedented in our region, the exhibition brings together for the first time the rich holdings of contemporary African American art drawn from preeminent collections of contemporary art in the region - the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, the Akron Art Museum, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Progressive Corporation, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Presented are works by many of the most important artists of our time in a range of media - works on paper, painting, sculpture, and installations. The exhibition features 27 artists, and begins with signature pieces by such pioneering figures of the 1970s and 1980s as Romare Bearden or Alma Thomas, and continues up to the present with prime examples of works by artists such as Leonardo Drew, Alison Saar, Willie Cole, David Hammons, Lorna Simpson, Carrie Mae Weems, René Green, Kara Walker and Kehinde Wiley, among others. Addressing a range of themes and issues, the exhibition presents an overview of the rich cultural heritage voiced by contemporary African-American artists in their examination of history, identity, and memory."
And check out the fact that all these great works are from Ohio Colections. (Like the Progressive Collection) Ohio, unlike western PA, is home to a number of very significant contemporary art collectors.

William Tucker: Blackdamp
"This body of work is preoccupied with the industrial infrastructure that keeps online the system of the digital flows of electronic networks that define the space of contemporary life. Since the early 1990’s, the coal industry in Appalachia has converted to a more efficient form of surface mining to meet the increasing demand for cheap energy. After clear cutting the most bio-diverse temperate forest on the planet, heavy machine operators blast away thousands of feet of bedrock to reach razor thin veins of coal, while dumping the rock spoil into the valleys and streams below.
Blackdamp is the name given to poisonous gases that collect in sewers and coal mines, deep within the underground networks that sustain life above the surface. This body of work envisions what happens when the accumulating residues of an abject land-base can no longer be sealed off or sequestered. Once the material consequences of short-term development seep back in, literally and metaphorically, they disrupt the images of speed, simultaneity, and frictionless energy-use that life in the digital age has modeled in our brains."
Oberlin College
Well, actually the museum is closed for renovations but you can see 20 masterworks from the collection at The Met in NY, through late August.
"The AMAM is proud to present 20 of its European and American masterworks in the galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York during spring and summer 2010. The works on display, which span the 16th-20th centuries, will be integrated into the Met’s galleries, giving visitors the rare opportunity to see the AMAM works with those by the same artists or from similar contexts from the Met’s world-renowned collections. The AMAM’s important Ter Brugghen painting, St. Sebastian Tended by Irene, will be seen with the Met’s The Crucifixion with the Virgin and St. John by the same artist, and AMAM paintings by Domenichino, Sweerts, Turner, Monet, and Cézanne will hang alongside important works by those artists."

Esther Nisenthal Krinitz: Fabric of Survival
Mar 07, 2010 Through May 23, 2010
Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, along with her sister Mania, were the only members of their family, and among the few Jews in their Polish village, to survive the Holocaust. At the age of 15, Esther refused the Nazi order for the Jews to report to a nearby railroad station for relocation. She and her sister separated from their family and never saw them again. In 1977, at the age of 50, Krinitz began creating works of fabric art to depict her stories of survival. The exhibition is on loan from Art and Remembrance.

"The exhibition, curated by Bruce Gallery Director John Bavaro, and organized by Erie Art Museum Director John Vanco, features a large sampling of lithographs, etchings and drawings by some of the most prominent names in Western art, including Picasso, Dali, Redon, Goya, Degas, Matisse, Chagall and many others. The exhibition also features excellent prints by Hiroshige, Hokusai, Kunisada and other Japanese masters. Some of the notable pieces featured in the show include a platter by Peter Voulkos, an original 1960’s era drawing by Peter Saul, a signed “Liz” silkscreen by Andy Warhol and two signed lithographs by Kathe Kollwitz.
Edinboro University’s collection is strongest in printmaking, but also includes sculpture, ceramics, painting, drawing, photography, and fibers. The collection is eclectic, with works ranging from 19th and early 20th Century lithographs to Pop Art prints and Photorealistic silkscreen pieces. It also contains selections from prominent Edinboro art alumni and purchase award acquisitions from the former Edinboro Print National Competition. Acquired through purchase or private donations, the artwork serves the campus and surrounding community through availability for study, teaching, exhibition and institutional loans."
