SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Creative Corps: Light Through Color with La Vispera
DESCRIPTION:Join La Vispera for a hands-on workshop beneath the shade structure artwork they created for Shore Thing. Participants will explore the same materials and techniques used in the installation\, including selecting\, cutting\, and assembling discarded plastics into original artworks to take home. \nWith design options for varying skill levels\, this workshop offers a firsthand introduction to La Vispera’s creative process and sustainable approach to artmaking. \nThis workshop is part of the Pittsburgh Creative Corps artist program series\, presented by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts and made possible by the City of Pittsburgh’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Arts Programming initiative. For more info\, visit: pittsburghcreativecorps.org. \nAbout the Artist \nLa Vispera is an art collective between Kelly Jimenez and Alejandro Franco\, both Colombian artists who specialize in creating highly crafted works of art using discarded materials. Our repertoire includes stop-motion animation\, photography\, sculptures\, and\, predominantly\, stained glass windows made from single-use plastic. \nAs nature enthusiasts\, we continually strive to bring environmental issues to the forefront of our art. Our stained glass pieces are a testament to our commitment to this cause. Through the use of the material’s translucency and color variations\, we have transformed what is typically a transient and detrimental substance into something of great beauty that we consider worth preserving. \nRegistration is required below.

SUMMARY:River Life 101
DESCRIPTION:For over a quarter century Riverlife has worked to improve Pittsburgh’s riverfronts and make them a more vital part of our city. Riverlife believes that “riverfronts belong to everyone”. Usually\, “everyone” refers to people… but on September 24\, we’re expanding that definition and exploring all the life that occupies our rivers. \nThis free\, open house workshop\, hosted aboard Riverlife’s Shore Thing – a floating public platform on the Allegheny River – will invite visitors to explore life in and on the rivers from a broader perspective. What lives in our rivers? What plants\, animals\, and other species rely on them for survival? Riverlife’s partner organizations are experts in the local environment\, and will be on deck to present and engage visitors in fun\, interactive exhibits about river life here in Pittsburgh.  \nWhat to Expect: \n\nConduct hands on water and soil sampling with the Allegheny County Conservation District.\n\nCreate your own team of river critter super heroes with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.\n\nExplore the impacts of invasive species and flooding on our rivers with the Kamin Science Center.\n\nNurdle-sort with the Three Rivers Waterkeeper and learn how these tiny plastic pellets are polluting our waterways.\nFrom the essential role that the rivers play in bird migration\, to the many mussels\, fish\, and other species that call them home\, to the invasive species that harm local populations; attendees can expect to engage with a number of different topics centered on these essential bodies of water. Participants will come away with a better understanding of the vast array of life in\, on\, beside\, and above the rivers\, and their place in making shore the rivers are for everyone\, in the broadest possible sense. \nThese conversations are made possible through the generous support of the Henry L. Hillman Foundation
