Hot House, a group show curated by Bunker alum Eva Conrad:
As late capitalism has slowly drifted toward a handmade movement, alongside the many have begun to indulge back in hand-making. Hot House brings together a diverse group of artists whose work is part of the current resurgence of the pattern and decoration movement in response to the white washing minimalism of gentrification aesthetics. Instead, maximalism and vibrant color provide an aesthetic of optimism that gestures back to traditionally more democratic forms of folk art and craft. Hot House features both local and national artists.
Exhibit Open: January 6 – February 3
Closing Reception: February 3, 2023, from 6 pm - 9 pm

Growth - an exhibition of mixed-ability artists. Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and Creative Citizens Studios present GROWTH, an exhibition of work by artists from both organizations, side by side, at Associated Artists’ exhibition space in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Curated by Chicago-based Disparate Minds, the exhibition presents an inclusive take on visual understandings and interpretations of growth in an artist’s practice, career, and style.
“GROWTH features a selection of artists that reflects diverse approaches to art-making – from abstract to representational, personal to universal, the handmade to digital – offering a glimpse into the wide range of complex works currently being produced by Pittsburgh-based artists,” notes Disparate Minds team Andreana Donahue and Tim Ortiz. “Our primary curatorial focus for this group exhibition has been to highlight connections between artists from CCS and AAP, in both creative process and relationship to the overarching concept of growth.”
The exhibition features work from 26 artists, and it marks the second collaboration in two years between the organizations.
For hours and accessibility information, please contact: at aapgh.org & citizenstudios.org or by calling (412)361-1370. Gallery hours are 11:00am–6:00pm, Wednesdays–Fridays with additional Saturdays posted online.
