This would include the conventional blending in to typical stereotypes to outlandish individuality; with variations of nationality, gender expression and body types.

Painting Live at Art All Night

April 24-25th 2010 at the Iron City Brewery 3340 Liberty Avenue in Lawrenceville!
The event runs ALL NIGHT LONG.

This is my 10th year doing Art All Night- one of Pittsburgh's most popular and populist arts events.

Not only will I have a wonderful painting on display but i will painting a mural live on scene from 6-8pm. My theme is Greek Mythology. Come check it out!

The idea is to use several artists who can embody Lawrenceville's collaborative spirit and partner with other artists to build on each other's work. Throughout the night, artists will be matched up, given a theme and a very large canvas and set free. Each artist will be assigned a limited block of time and the crowd will watch as the artistic visions evolve. The resulting art will benefit future Art All Night events.

Art All Night promotes artistic expression in all walks of life. The event particularly encourages children to be actively involved by contributing artwork and engaging in on-site arts activities. The show includes and attracts seniors, long-term residents, novice artists, educators, students, and seasoned professionals.
