Paper Politics is a major exhibition of politically and socially engaged printmaking. The exhibit showcases print art which uses themes of social justice and global equity to engage community members in political con-versation. The show has now been hung in several venues in the United States and Canada.

    The exhibition features work by over 180 artists from the US and around the world; an eclectic collection of work by artists who are primarily activists, as well as artists whose work may not always be politically moti-vated, but who wanted to respond to the monumental trends and events of our times.When: August 13 – October 24, 2010

A Note from Allen Hahn about this weekend’s Secret City:

The Secret City is headed into it’s last round of summer experiments. All summer long, we’ve been trying out new things in The Secret City and this is the last of those experiments. Since the last session only two weeks ago, there are still more improvements we are integrating for THIS SUNDAY.  There are a few new elements and we’ve expanded the routes a little to get you into some of the best places in the building that haven’t been seen for a while. We’ve also tabled some others—even ones that were successful—in an effort to find what works not just better, but BEST!

Place: Braddock Carnegie Library

Date: Sunday, August 29

Time: 11 AM—4 PM (no, it doesn’t take that long, read on…)

We’ll be starting up to six players at a time at 30-minute intervals beginning at 11:00 with the last start at 1:00. If you have a time preference within this window, let us know what it is and we’ll do our best to oblige and contact you if we can’t.

A lot of the experience has changed, even since July, so if you’ve played before, don’t worry; it will be like a brand new game. And if you’ve never played before, you’re in for a treat! If you plan to come, please register at the link above, even if you’ve already been in touch with me, so we can keep track of how many players we’ve got.

Presented by Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council

Have you ever found yourself sitting at your computer thinking…
That was a great poster/brochure – I wonder who did the design?
Who programmed that show? And I have to sell it?!
I’m an artist and all alone in this marketing thing, how do other folks do it?

Well, here’s a great chance to have some summer fun and commune (or commiserate) with your arts marketing and PR friends, old and new. We’ve heard from our members that you’d like to network and discuss specific issues of marketing the arts in Pittsburgh on an ongoing and casual basis. June’s gathering was a lively discussion on everything from social media strategic planning to a city-wide marketing campaign. So please join us for these FREE monthly gatherings and give us your take on marketing issues most important to you. And hey, who doesn’t love CHOCOLATE?!

Continuing through September (and longer depending on interest!). Register for any or all upcoming gatherings above.
