Shared Concerns - Opening Reception

Join us for the opening reception Thursday, January 17th, 5pm-8pm.

The Verostko Center is proud to announce the anticipated opening of Shared Concerns on Thursday, January 25 at 5pm. The exhibition pairs the work of Associated Artists of Pittsburgh members with selections from the Saint Vincent Art & Heritage Collections intended to illuminate the affinities of creatives working across continents and centuries.

Pairing selections culled from Saint Vincent’s holdings with recently completed works is intended to forge new resonances between the motivations of artists working across time; reminding us that artists have long communicated to viewers what is sacred, overlooked, under threat, and is possible. The exhibition also illuminates similarities and divergences between historical forms of artmaking. Taken collectively, these pieces animate tradition, push the boundaries of abstraction, foreground the experiences of women and girls, and stress the mounting ecological crisis.

Pittsburgh Artists:
Sandra Bacchi, Tony Cavalline, Eunsu Kang, Clayton Merrell, Mary Kay Neff, S.C., Adallberto Ortiz, Marian Phillips, Patrick Schmidt, Nicole Renee Ryan, Evan Rumble, Silvija Singh, and Sarah Tancred
