As a business owner and artist myself, I feel nothing but secondhand embarrassment and…read moredisappointment having attached my name to The Butler Art Center and Gallery. The oversight, lack of communication, and overall nonsensical social politics of this "organization" have proven to be nothing more than a waste of time and effort. I got involved with the art center when I moved here in October of 2023, originally modeling for their portrait group (Terry Hagan got me involved.) I continued to stay in touch with various members of the art center up until I modeled again for the portrait group in February of 2024. At this time, i met someone who was involved with the art center and became very important to me and he offered to share his wall space at the center for me to be able to hang some paintings and enter shows and things and be more involved. It was then the problem started appearing. I hung some paintings in March of 2024, hoping to enter their spring floral show and was told by Shirley, after I had hung them, that it was too late to enter the show, they had been judged, etc. but I could leave them on the walls to sell. I took it as my bad on the timing. I was NEVER asked to fill out any form of paperwork saying that my paintings were in the building or discussing fees or anything of the sort, even when I asked directly about it, because I knew there were forms that needed to be filled out to be able to sell my art through the center. Through various other discussions, it was learned that the person important to me was disliked by members of the board for the way he appeared, simply the way he dressed, going so far as to debate giving back his donation. We continued on working with the art center, being involved with different events and things, overall dedicating time and effort to trying to better it and being met with only frustration. In May of 2024 I was approached and directly asked to provide abstract paintings for their abstract and 3D show, including doing the chalk mural that was present during the show. I, again, was NEVER presented paperwork for the 22 paintings I had displayed in the building. I asked multiple board members, Sally and Shirley included, and was told that it would be taken care of or that they would get it to me and that never happened. I then woke up on the day of the reception for the show to find out that I had been left out of judging again. I have NEVER been apologized to or contacted in any regard. This has been brought directly to their attention on multiple occasions, and despite people having my contact information, they have chosen to go out of their way to apologize to the person that originally made the donation and shared wall space with me, the checkbook. This egregious oversight, lack of communication, and overall lack of organization and respect for artists is a disgusting representation of what an art center and gallery should be. The Butler Art Center and Gallery is a failing prospect, continuously mismanaging funds and donations, and should not be used as any representation for an organization or business pertaining to artists.

They may have gotten the $50 for the two tickets I purchased. But they lost out on the possibility of hundreds of more if my friend and I were happy customers. Also, that encourages people to show up when they are ill so that they do not lose money. It makes no sense in 2021. In addition to encouraging you to come, even when you are experiencing covid, their mask policy is that they are optional.

Holly was very flexible with us when a few in our party were running late and she did such an awesome job guiding us through the poses and different positions on the silks.

And I would definitely recommend this place for any date night/solo adventures/group outings!

It had been a cloudy blustery day in the grand Steel city. A day intended for hot toddy's, horror…read moremovies, and "grown up" cider. That can only mean as the sun sunk low beyond the horizon it was time to choose a haunted house. Pittsburgh is not lacking for choices when it comes to ways to scare yourself at night. (I'm not even talking about the parade of horrors on the Southside or the underage drunk college kids screaming in Oakland.) In all the options my group of four decided to try a haunted house that was brand new. I realize that this can mean a subpar haunt, but I'm willing to chance it. Parking in the Strip District on the weekend is still dicey, (I don't know why I thought that dropped off in the 90's, maybe because I haven't hung out down there since the 90's.) but even with a larger vehicle we found a spot. There is absolutely no line outside, like with other haunted houses. Just a sandwich board type sign, an attendant, and a police officer (which was a surprise). The attendant instructed us in a very non-spooky way to just head down the steps. Once downstairs, the lights are low and a greenish blue color, the air somewhat fog-smokey. Tickets were 17$ a person which seems to be standard fare for a haunted house general admission. Inside the building we found the queue. Pallets nailed together to look like the sorts of passageways cattle are lead through in a slaughter house. They had a small flat screen television playing the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. A few actors came out to interact with the crowd, one was great and doing just the sorts of things that key up an audience the other just sort of stood behind you and most of the time he moved on before you even knew he had been there. The woman who ran down the rules didn't stay in character very well, and this was a theme throughout the attraction. They do have a nice large space, some of the rooms are huge and sprawling with some really interesting pieces like old grocery store equipment, cases for meat, etc. There is even a school bus inside this basement haunted house. It has potential. That's the only real compliment I have for them. It's not there yet. If they can maintain this space all year, work on the look of each room, fine tune it from kitschy to horrific, hire more actors, and talk to them about focus and the theme of their character it could become another one of Pittsburgh's great haunted houses. For now though, it's just some stumbling, some incredibly awkward talk about every girl being a "nice piece of meat that (I) can't wait to eat," a few startling scares, and at least one if not two juggalos.
