There is a lot going on at ARTWORKS for the month of May. The Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League continues to display their stunning show titled “Pure Pigment” in the Studio Gallery. There are pastels galore and each one of them is as unique as the one next to it. This is a must see exhibit. One-of-a-kind Mother’s Day gifts are available for sale. Framed originals, prints and note cards are included in their offerings.

Coming in June is a show featuring the students of Greg Siegwart.
At noon on June 5th there will be a free, public “critique” led by Greg Siegwart and Bobbi Priebe. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone who would like to share their work with artists who can offer suggestions or who just want to share what they do in any medium. The group that comes together about every three months has fun, is informal and beneficial to all.
