Pittsburgh Perspectives Festival
The music was sublime, a mix of classical, jazz, and some styles I’m not even sure have names. All of it brilliant. None of it too heady to enjoy. If you weren’t there, you missed something special.

We Are Not the Same and That’s Okay: A Day at the Three Rivers Arts Festival
Saturday, June 6, 2022, was the second day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival, back for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The weather was best described as delightful. Upper 70s and sunny, with tall buildings that provided plenty of shade and a river valley that supplied a refreshing breeze. This year, the event took place in the streets of the Cultural District in Downtown Pittsburgh, as opposed to Point State Park. I liked it better this way.

As public art invites everyone to interact with the creative spirit of Pittsburgh, The (New) Pittsburgh Exposition offers seven public art sites in and around the city that have helped define its civic art scene.
