Alan Kettler Art Exhibition at the Square Cafe - December 3, 7-8:30 pm

12/2/2011

Alan Kettler, ecological artist, will have his first solo art exhibition in twenty years at the Square Cafe on Braddock Avenue on Saturday, December 3, 7-8:30 pm. The posters above were created in the 1980's - prescient, eh? Posters and other items are available for purchase.

The art is very cool, IMHO. If you cannot make the opening, stop by the Square and check out his work anyway.

Pittsburgh is hoppin'

Two events are happening this week in Pittsburgh that tap into important social justice issues. The first is at Chatham tomorrow afternoon. Two other professors and I will be sharing our stories of participation in the Blair Mountain March last May. Mountain Top Removal is a practice that is devastating to the natural environment as well as the physical, emotional, and communal well-being of the people in the area - and it is notable that the people most significantly affected are among the poorest in the nation. (Excuse the wonky graphics.... had a hard time getting these up!)

Then Thursday, late afternoon, we will be on Greenfield Bridge to advocate for jobs for people who want to work - and for the possibility of creating these jobs to repair the decaying infrastructure of the city - like the Greenfield Bridge. Meaningful work that contributes to the community as well as the family's financial health - sounds like a good idea!

On another note - I met a very cool gentleman at the Square today - the ecological artist Alan Kettler - who will be having an exhibit at the Square on December 3. Stay tuned for more information - I am predicting that you will LOVE his work. Even just viewing it online this morning helped me to start the day with a light and hopeful heart - hard to explain, but check it out.

Have a great week in this crazy weather!
