Revolutionary Care is a daily act of resistance through love, boundary-setting, self-determination, and visionary dreaming. This exhibition brings together three artists (Amber Doe, Bekezela Mguni, and Alisha B Wormsley) who each demonstrate and articulate care in their own distinct visual languages. Through practices of individual and collective care, and by activating the power of generative and restorative healing, this exhibition opens a gateway—calls us to imagine and build a society rooted in liberation and a pathway toward freedom. Care is both an inheritance and a revolutionary future, carried forward in the gesture of making.

@Contemporary Craft, opens May 29

 

I Remember It Better: 2026 Distillery Artist Residency Exhibition speaks to the process of looking back, and the tendency to compare where we are with where we’ve been. This year’s artists-in-residence present seven distinct worlds, with their own unique aesthetic and material qualities, nevertheless united by a focus on the past—through memory, history, and found materials.

@Brew House Arts, through June 20

 

A Fine Intoxication: Gathering Glass is an exhibition documenting the history and career of one of Pennsylvania’s preeminent glass artists and Pittsburgh Glass Center co-founder, Kathleen Mulcahy. The exhibition includes Mulcahy’s work from 2001 to the present. Works from Ron Desmett are also included in the exhibition.

@Pittsburgh Glass Center, through July 31

PERMANENT SPACES

We checked out the new Arts Landing downtown and the Highland Park Super Playground with our visiting family members and highly recommend both. Arts Landing has art created by many of our clients and friends throughout, with more to come. Our nephew is right on the age cusp between the two playgrounds, and he loved them both! And the Super Playground, rebuilt and reopened a few years ago, features a handmade, communally created mosaic sign created in partnership with Pittsburgh Glass Center using glass donated by Wissmach Glass. And of course, the play part was fun too - our nephew didn't want to leave, but the adults were hungry.
