Pittsburgh Gallery Crawl


La Roche is taking a bus to the Gallery Crawl in Pittsburgh at 6 p.m this Friday. If you've never been to a gallery crawl before, you should really try to make time for it. Whether you go with parents or friends, through La Roche or on your own, you can have a truly good time. Each gallery crawl event is different, so if you have been to one, don't be afraid to go to another! You'll find the most information on the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust website: http://www.pgharts.org/education/gallerycrawl.aspx. The site has a full listing of the events going on each time. There is live entertainment and open art galleries with different collections (from paintings to sculptures depicting ice to comics). Handmade Arcade sponsors a craft night during each gallery crawl where they reuse something (for example, t-shirts) to make something else (for example, totes) and they also have button making available. Le Cordon Blue Institute of Culinary Arts is a gallery crawl participant and features sugar and tallow sculpture pieces created by the PCI faculty. They also have hot food and beverages prepared by PCI students. One time when I went in the fall, there was cinnamon hot chocolate and very delicious and very chocolatey brownies. If you still manage to find yourself hungry and walking along the streets of Pittsburgh during the gallery crawl, I definitely recommend you stop in Dozen Bake Shop or Crazy Mocha because they are two Pittsburgh places you can't miss!
