Join us for a music filled paint party where community members are invited to create alongside artist James "Yaya" Hough. 

The event will include free food, music by Shade Cobain, fun painting activities, sidewalk chalk art and more!

ALL ARE WELCOME

As a part of the 58th Carnegie International, Pittsburgh-born and based artist James “Yaya” Hough (b. 1974) will paint a mural in Pittsburgh’s historic Hill District, a cultural and artistic hub where Hough was born.

Hough, in collaboration with Carnegie Museum of Art and Nafasi, a community development initiative in the Hill District that utilizes art as a vehicle, has been holding community workshops in the lead-up to the mural unveiling which will take place later this year. This project expands on and continues Yaya’s legacy of making art public to create common imaginaries.
