SUMMARY:A Kayaking Thing

We’ll be joined by an ASL interpreter for the duration of the event. \nFollowing the paddle\, participants will land at the 6th Street Public Boat ramp (across the river from our dock) and travel to Shore Thing for after paddle fellowship. Paddlers then have the option to return to the Venture Outdoors dock by kayak or depart from Shore Thing. \nTrip Leaders\nTrained Kayak Pittsburgh Excursionists will go over how to use common kayaking gear on land and then will guide the group on the water. \nActivity level\nBeginner – This is a slow paced\, introductory paddle designed for kayakers with little to no experience. If you are hesitant to paddle on the river\, check out our events at North Park or our Beginner River Paddles. \nAge requirements\nAll paddlers are required to be at least 35lbs and 3 years of age. Anyone under the age of 13 MUST be in a tandem kayak with an adult.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Creative Corps: Pollinate Your Creative Flow with Celeste Neuhaus
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, participants will engage with the river and local ecosystem to discover the interconnections between their creative process\, the act of pollination\, and the element of water. \nThrough writing prompts and guided watercolor explorations participants will be supported through making contact with their creative blocks\, allowing for these blocks to release and metamorphosize into flow. No prior experience necessary to participate. \nEach participant will leave with seeds and seedlings from a local micro-nursery to plant at home to contribute to pollinator pathways. They will also be gifted a watercolor set and sketchbook to paint their ongoing growth. \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: \nCeleste Neuhaus (she/they) is a multimodal artist and witch who constellates magic\, ecology\, and healing. Their sculptural objects\, assemblages\, paintings\, and guided rituals vividly materialize the often subconscious interdependencies between the continuum of the somatic – psychological – political – ecological – cosmological. \nShe is the originator of Conjure Creativity: one-on-one sessions and group workshops where she guides participants into deeper embodied alignment with their unique creative process. This work is an offering of service and devotion to the wildness and mystery that ignite and nourish each individual’s inner spark. \nRegistration is required below.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Creative Corps: Kinesthetic Instruments: Objects for Play and Noticing with Makenzie O’Connor
DESCRIPTION:Kinesthetic Instruments is a hands-on workshop inviting participants to reflect on stagnation and movement through the making of small kinetic sculptures. Using paper\, pliable plant materials\, and waxed linen thread\, participants will tie\, glue\, stitch\, and assemble materials to create objects that respond to wind\, gesture\, and interaction. \nInspired by windsocks used to measure wind\, kites that have long symbolized liberation and connection\, and the playfulness of pinwheels\, these handmade objects become tools for noticing\, connecting\, and imagining. Part sculpture and part instrument\, they invite us to tune into the relationship between body and environment. \nTogether\, we’ll slow down\, pay attention\, and discover how movement can transform the unseen into something visible and shared. \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 \nMak is an artist\, designer\, and researcher whose practice centers care-full space-making\, understanding spaces as living systems of exchange between bodies\, materials\, memory\, and meaning. They are drawn toward processes of possibility and approach design as a form of relationship-building\, a way of tending to the invisible forces that shape how people feel\, move\, and orient themselves in the world. \nDrawing from disability studies\, phenomenology\, and feminist design theory\, Mak investigates how environments structure power through their affordances — how they invite\, restrict\, or reshape embodied experience. Their work examines how spatial and material systems can either constrain or expand possibility\, and how design might contribute to more just and equitable ways of dwelling in and moving through the world. \nThrough publication design\, spatial interventions\, environmental graphics\, and material fabrication\, they develop projects that foreground lived experience\, inviting attentiveness\, sensory openness\, presence\, and belonging. \nRegistration is required below.

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.
