Art meeting set at Maridon
The Office of Public Art will host a meeting Wednesday at the Maridon Museum to discuss its plans to be a clearing house for art locations in 13 counties in the Pittsburgh region.
The meeting will be from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the museum, 322 N. McKean St. It is open to representatives from any arts venue.
The Office of Public Art is developing Pittsburgh Art Places, which will be a Web resource that features images, descriptions, and links to art venues and works of public art in Southwestern Pennsylvania. Pittsburghartplaces.org will launch in August and will be a resource for finding and learning about art venues.
Venues in the region are invited to join the site and make profiles for their art places before the public launch. By attending an informational session, venues will be given instructions and the beta-site link.
Call 412-391-2060, Ext. 237, or visit publicartpittsburgh.org for information.
The Office of Public Art is a partnership between the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning.
It is funded by the Colcom Foundation and Hillman Family Foundation.
