The Pittsburgh-Green-Bridge Project is providing an opportunity for budding artists in PIttsburgh. This opportunity encourages the creation of effective, environmentally sensitive artwork. The Pittsburgh-Green-Bridge Project is a collaboration between students at CAPA High School and the University of Pittsburgh, the Mattress Factory, artists Constance Merriman, JoAnna Commandaros, Karen Page, Heather White and David Pohl, and the residents of Pittsburgh’s urban community and Greenspaces. This interdisciplinary project includes study, observation, documentation, discussion, implementation and celebration.
The collaboration has been centered around Japanese Knotweed. Japanese Knotweed is an invasive species not native to Pittsburgh, and is currently impacting Schenley Park. The groups teamed with restoration ecologists to clear a pathway and collect the knotweed. An installation reflecting the experience of the artists, students and the community will be exhibited at the Mattress Factory.
The opening for the show is on December 12th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in the lobby of the Mattress Factory. The show will be open for viewing on December 13th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
