This weekend of events and happenings includes some great opportunities to see (and perhaps buy) artists work in their studios and work spaces.
The fifth annual Lawrenceville artist's studio tour on Saturday will open 16 artists work spaces and let you see work from video and performance, to traditional stained glass, textiles, sculpture and pottery.
Just download the PDF for a map.
My personal must sees would likely include the studios of
Connie Cantor
Encyclopedia Destructica
Ron Donoughe
Dan Gasser
But the Casey and Rachel Hallas studio looks very interesting.
I'm a little bummed, that Tugboat Press isn't opening up.
Then on Sunday
On Sunday, consider popping into Open studio event of Susan Constance and Christine Bethea in Bloomfield.
Orange Balloons, an aRt-O-noMic open studio event
Bloomfield, 4073 Liberty Ave – 2nd floor
Sunday, October 18, 2008: 12PM – 6PM
Now for my rant!
People familiar with the art scene and geography of Pittsburgh might guess that one could easily put together an amazing Bloomfield/Garfield/Lawrenceville open studio/ art weekend or something which could easily include 30 different art studios and galleries.
Don't hold your breath on that one.
