Welcome to South Arts Pittsburgh! 

Wednesday, March 29 will now be a Member Workshop Demonstration. Diane Murray will be demonstrating the use of PanPastels. They are an amazing medium that can be used on plain, textured, or watercolor paper as well as on polymer clays and in mixed media. Diane will let the group play with her set on small sheets of different papers. These are all free workshops, however we will have a box available for donations. If possible, if you plan to attend the March 29th demonstration, please RSVP to Cheryl at  Cheryl.Chivers@yahoo.com  so we will have an idea of how to set up the room. Hope to see you there. 

 

 

 

February 15th was our first evening Open Studio Workshop with 5 artists participating (photo above).  


Ideas for future Member Workshop Demonstrations are:

  • Gouache and ink by Nancy Kenney
  • Figure drawing by Ellen Conrad
  • Color and watercolor brush techniques by Aleta Akhtar
  • Framing techniques, creating collage papers by Jeanie Slater, etc.

 

If you have a talent you would like to share with our group please contact our workshop coordinator, Cheryl Chivers at Cheryl.Chivers@yahoo.com.

Jeanie Slater, co-president of South Arts and members of the Bethel Park Community Foundation presented her with a $1000 Scholarship.

A 501(c) Nonprofit  Art Organization Serving the South Hills Region of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

South Arts Pittsburgh, founded in 1984, was designed to bring education, cultural outreach, and networking opportunities to the community through various art programs. 
 

South Arts is home to over 50 members, ages 18 to 100+, from the beginner hobbyist to professional artist, living in Pittsburgh's South Hills and surrounding areas.
 

The nonprofit hosts a weekly open painting session on Friday mornings at the Schoolhouse Art & History Center building on South Park Road in Bethel Park, bi-weekly figure drawing classes on Wednesday evenings, and fine art courses taught by professionals. In addition, South Arts helps artists promote their work in local exhibitions. South Arts recently added an annual scholarship to a BPHS senior art student that was presented in May.
