Turning demo cars into works of art=genius. Sad that they're moving from Penn Ave but even happier they are staying in Garfield and expanding into a museum. I love the wood, brick and metal of the current location as well and can't wait for the museum. Most Wanted is an Unblurred legend.

They regularly participate in the Unblurred First Friday gallery crawls that happen on the first Friday of each month, but are also able to be rented out for private events. The gallery itself is quite a nice space: shiny hardwood floors, the ability to open up the front in nice weather, and an exposed brick wall. They also have a little stage area for live music. The quality of the art they bring in is consistenly quite good as well, and especially on First Friday, you have a good chance of meeting and getting to chat with the artist(s). On First Fridays, they sometimes offer wine tasting from Wilhelm Winery (or have other free booze) and usually have a good sampling of snack-upons.

I stopped by the Carnegie Museum of Art because I was looking for something fun to do inside. The…read moreCarnegie International is on display throughout the museum. Super cool, this is the 59th year and is the longest running exhibit in North America. This year titled "If the word we". As I was standing in the lobby reading about the exhibit, a small group started to assemble and a docent arrived for a free art walk of some classical pieces on display. In all my years of going to the museum, this was my first docent led tour and it was really interesting. It lasted about an hour and was very interactive with the guests. I really enjoyed.

For the museum lovers in the crowd, this is a decent museum. I do remember thinking like a snooty…read moreelite a few times that those accustomed to museums abroad in Europe would think this was weaksauce -- in terms of the art presented and the amount of art (or lack thereof). That said, you DO get entry into not just the museum but also the History museum while there, so your day can be rather full if you want to check out more than just art (e.g., dinosaur bones and other fossils). And perhaps most interestingly -- for those who haven't been to Europe, currently there museum has these huge stone structures that you would find in, say, Rome or elsewhere. I can only imagine how they transported these! But for someone who hasn't gotten to see the immensity of something like an old historic church embellished with stone sculptures that put our basic designs to shame, this is an experience worth having... Get there while they have them if they are part of a temporary exhibit! Bottom line: Decent. Good for the kids, too.

The Andy Warhol Museum is a great place to spend a couple hours before a Pittsburgh Pirates game…read more There are a bunch of levels in this museum, and it's pretty easy to navigate. A ton of art work throughout Andy Warhol's life. The iconic paintings of Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Campbell's Soup, and Coca-Cola are all here. I had a fun time in the video booth where you can record your own distorted video just how Andy Warhol used to record his guests. The museum is $25 for adults, $13 for seniors, $13 for students with ID, and $13 for kids 3-18 years old. Located right by PNC Park the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I didn't know much about Andy Warhol but the 7 floors of information and art gave me a good…read moreunderstanding of his artistic progression and range and life both in (from) Pittsburgh to NY and elsewhere. He was not just an interesting eccentric that pushed culture forward but someone who found a way to make money off his art in advertising while also having a style of his own and forays into film. While this is the Warhol museum, there are pieces by others on the ground floor, including collaborators. Bottom line: Worth a view if you are a museums person and like modern art.

I also found out that they also have great regular programs and special events too. Members receive a discount, which is great. The topics sound really interesting. I'm looking forward to attending one. We have seen so many great rotating exhibits over the years. I really love it when they have excellent art exhibits. The Vermeer exhibit a year or so ago was great. I read up about it before going and found out what a genius he really was with light. The latest exhibit French Moderns was a really good. I loved seeing all the classic artists you would expect in an exhibit like that. However, I found some other artists I had never heard of and was happy to learn about them. They were absolutely excellent. I also loved the Lewis Hine photography exhibit too. He did such a wonderful job capturing the real lives of immigrants and other hard working people from the last century. This perspective is desperately needed right now, as immigrants are often not painted in a positive light. This exhibit shone a light on how they really are and how hard they worked then and continue to work now. The 400 years of William Shakespeare exhibit was wonderful. It was so cool to see the original scripts. So interesting and different than other exhibits they have had! Another exhibit that was one of the best we have seen was the Katherine Hepburn exhibit. I loved learning all about her life, her loves, and all the fabulous clothes she wore throughout her amazing life. The car and carriage museum is also a real find. It is so great to see the evolution of vehicles from the carriage to the car. It is so cool to see all different types of vehicles created over time especially those from the local area. There was also a cool hood ornament exhibit a few years ago that was really cool especially since cars don't have them anymore. The greenhouse is always neat to see too. They have beautiful plants in and outside the greenhouse. I love seeing them grow and evolve over time. Then you go see the Clayton which is also a unique local gem. It's especially interesting to see this knowing how important the Fricks were to the local area professionally and personally. It's really great to see decorated at Christmas. It's a must visit when you come to Pittsburgh. They also offer reciprocity to other great museums all over the country.

When the spot closed (ages ago, unfortunately) and the sculpture remained, I decided to find out more about it. It turned out it had nothing to do with that museum and instead is intended to honor the musical legacy of Pittsburgh. I love the quirky style and oversized nature of the sculpture. It is a perfect spot for a photo, but the space behind it is private property, so be aware of that when looking at it.

In 2003, artist James Simon built these three 15-foot jazz musicians and dog. He sculpted them in clay and cast them in concrete. They pay homage to the city's musical legacy. They are in front of a courtyard and private residence, so a sign warns visitors to not walk past the sculptures and block the entryway. I spent only seconds of time here and snapped a quick photo. I recommend walking past when you are in the area.

She is very thorough in her teaching methods. Whether you are a beginner or advanced painter she will take you to the next level. And to top it off, she studied at the ART STUDENTS LEAGUE in New York City with THE LIVING LEGEND, DAVID LEFFEL . In addition to teaching adults she also has art lessons for children ranging from age 6 to 18. Her lessons are held in her studio/gallery where you can appreciate and purchase her still lifes and portraits..

Meeli is a very talented artist and an excellent teacher, maybe in part because she is a retired school teacher, although I believe she has the innate ability to convey novel and complex subjects in a way that the new knowledge just clicks. She actually loves teaching and it shows. Meeli is incredibly patient, and beyond kind and supportive. She teaches oil painting from a classic point of view which is what I was looking for. I've learned techniques, art concepts, and color theory without even realizing it. I would highly recommend classes with Meeli to beginners, art students with some experience and to anyone who has been painting for a while but who wants to improve their painting skills. You'll enjoy seeing your art skills develop or improve quickly and spending time with one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
