It's not that I don't appreciate when people notice the literary flourishes I attempt (badly), but "I would lick it" would ABSOLUTELY melt me too.

Our tailgate party during the Associated Artists Pittsburgh party at the The Westmoreland Museum of American Art was covered by the Pittsburgh tribune review! Thanks to all the cool people who came and chilled with us. Go art!

Tailgate a football game? Sure. But a fine art exhibition? That’s something different. The Westmoreland Museum of American Art may have experienced its first-ever tailgate (we can’t verify that) on Nov. 9, with the opening of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh 107th Annual Exhibition. On a cor...

A new study found that giving students more access to arts at school had positive effects on kids' writing test scores, discipline and compassion. The additional program cost the schools about $15 per student.

What is the Busnegie Museum of Art?

The Busnegie Museum of Art, an idea of Pittsburgh artist Suzanne Werder, is a temporary art museum in bus shelters featuring the work of Pittsburgh artists. It was located inside a bus shelter outside the Carnegie Museum of Art and then moved to a bus shelter at the intersection of Craig Street and Fifth Avenue. Through grants and crowdfunding, the ad space was purchased and art was put there instead. Additional art was installed guerrilla style including finger knit plastic bags and art printed on clear acetate. Future Busnegie projects look to print the work of local artists on large vinyl signs and put them up in the community in underutilized aesthetically challenged spaces such as poles, fences, bridges and columns.

One of the target audiences of the first iterations, was the arts professionals attending the Carnegie International exhibition at the Carnegie Museum of Art, to provide opportunity for the local artists involved and propel their careers. The second target audience was and is people who do not have a relationship with art and rarely (if ever) attend museums or galleries. By bringing art to them in the very egalitarian space of bus shelters, the Busnegie seeks to remedy the (often correct) perception that art is elitist and stuffy. To further promote the arts to those who are economically disadvantaged, the Busnegie publicizes the little known fact that people who receive government services and have an ACCESS card can attend the Carnegie with up to 3 other people for just $1 each.

The Busnegie was invited to collaborate on planning a party and it was an incredible event. Future arty parties are being planned!

Stay tuned for more details, events and more!
