What I thought was just going to be the opening of our new Tough Art installations turned out to be a lot more…A lot more artwork.

The Museum celebrated “The Year in Art,” this past Wednesday.  There was recognition of the artists who have contributed so much to the Museum and Pittsburgh.  On display were the Four Tough Art Pieces, the photos taken by high schoolers for the International Heritage Photographic Experience and the “One Minute Juniors” videos that were created this summer.

Also, all of our F.I.N.E. artists that spent the last year in residency at the Museum were recognized  along with their projects.  It was great meeting some people that I had not seen in a long time.  It was fun remembering the creations of their art projects and programs.

We also recognized the Artist who created the “Underpass;” a lovely piece art on display near the Museum in an underpass that leads to the North Shore.  I really enjoy walking by the art on my way to Pirates’ games.

It is so awesome to finally see Tough Art up and running.  The spaces are a little less cluttered than the photos from my previous blog about the installation process.  The kaleidoscope is beautiful, Zach’s piece is a cool hang out, Felipe’s spans the globe, and the giant slug is just that…a giant slug.  All four pieces are amazing; its always fun to have new, cool things to play with.
