Johanna Lasner is committed to creating meaningful art experiences that build community. During her recent position as the Assistant Director for Casey Droege Cultural Productions, CDCP, Lasner played a key role in the organization's involvement within the Pittsburgh arts community. She became an integral part in making CDCP's keystone programs come to fruition every year by organizing and planning events, coordinating participants, managing a social media presence, networking with collaborators and partners, and documenting the entire process. With her background in photography, Lasner served as the primary documentarian for these temporal projects. Her photography work during the organization's events helps CDCP build frameworks for their projects and analyze the social implications of their keystone programs.
6 Artists + 1 Chef + You
SIX x ATE invites the public to enjoy five-minute presentations from six artists and a meal from one or several cuisiniers. All of the work presented or performed responds to the theme of the night. There are no formal Q & A’s or long-winded introductions, so guests spend most of the evening talking informally while eating and drinking. This relaxed environment encourages real connections, spurring future collaborations and forging new friendships.
Pittsburgh's only art fair promoting photography
Each year, PGH Photo Fair hosts 13+ internationally known dealers and photography projects.These experts exhibit museum-quality prints and photo-based art spanning the history of the medium, from 19th Century vintage prints to contemporary photography, alongside photographic books and photo-based magazines.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR ART COMES FROM?
Community Supported Art Pittsburgh (CSA PGH) creates “shares” of local art to feed the public’s cultural appetite. Instead of the boxes of fruit and vegetables that one might get from a local farm as an agricultural CSA, our shares include works by local artists. CSA PGH has received local and national support and will continue to bring fresh, local art to the community.
