"Nancy Crow: Works from 1988-2008" Exhibition
Calendar: Local Calendar

13 Jun 2008
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery at Carnegie Mellon University presents “Nancy Crow: Works from 1988­-2008,” featuring more than 50 quilts that make it the largest exhibition ever of Crow’s work. On June 11, Crow will lecture and sign copies of her books at 7 p.m. in McConomy Auditorium in the University Center. Former Miller Gallery Director Petra Fallaux curates the summer exhibition, which opens with a reception June 12 from 5 to 8 p.m. and runs through August 15.
The Regina Gouger Miller Gallery is open Tuesday-Sunday, 11:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Admission is free.

Rather than assembling a “greatest hits” compilation or a chronological survey of Crow’s career, “Nancy Crow: Works from 1988-­2008” presents the works with an eye toward uncovering the artist’s process of discovery in these pivotal years. The exhibition includes examples of her quilts “Bow Tie,” “Chinese Souls” and “Linear Studies” series, as well as more than 30 works from the “Color Blocks” and “Constructions” series, including a half-dozen new quilts that will be unveiled at the exhibition.

A “BERRY” GOOD TIME FOR A GOOD CAUSE

The 16th annual Shadyside Presbyterian Church Strawberry Festival will be held on Friday, June 13, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Shadyside congregation will host a traditional evening of fun, games, and delicious food to celebrate the impending arrival of summer and support The Pittsburgh Project, a local non-profit community development organization.

With something for everyone, the Strawberry Festival offers a perfect evening of family fun. Menu items will include cake, ice cream, fresh strawberries, grilled hot dogs, chips, and hot and cold drinks, including root beer floats. Baked goods will also be available for purchase. Activities will include games with prizes for everyone, pony rides (from 6:00 to 8:00), crafts, balloons, temporary tattoos, and live music provided by the Good Time Music Company. (In the event of rain, the festivities will move indoors – no ponies.)

There is no charge for admission; crafts, tattoos, and the cake walk are free. Refreshments and baked goods may be purchased with cash. Tickets for other activities are three for $1; games require one ticket, balloons require three tickets, and pony rides require twelve tickets. All proceeds from the festival’s activities will benefit The Pittsburgh Project, an urban, neighborhood-based, Christian community development organization.

Shadyside Presbyterian Church is centrally located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s educational/cultural district, just a few blocks away from the campuses of the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. The church is situated on the corner of Amberson Avenue and Westminster Place, one block off Fifth Avenue, and is accessible to individuals with disabilities. Call 412-682-4300 for more information, or visit www.shadysidepres.org.

For 23 years, The Pittsburgh Project has poured time and resources into developing leaders and serving the city’s most vulnerable residents – operating a progressive series of afterschool programs for urban young people, deploying over 2,500 people annually to perform free home repairs for Pittsburgh’s in-need elderly homeowners, outfitting college students for urban service and leadership, and spearheading economic development and anti-violence efforts in our Pittsburgh neighborhood.

Wired to Win
Calendar: Local Calendar
Quercus  
13 Jun 2008
Wired to Win, an extraordinary new film in IMAX®, showcases the amazing ability of the human brain to overcome adversity, accomplish the near-impossible, and power each of us to victory and success in life.

The brain’s abilities are illustrated through cyclists racing in the Tour De France. Over the course of the event, they are caught up in hair-raising crashes, dramatic battles over the Alps and Pyrenees and action-packed descents down steep mountain roads. Their ultimate goal? The finish line on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

The film raises the questions "how do they do this?" and "why do they do this?" Ultimately the answers lie within the mind and the human brain itself.


$8 adults; $6 children 3-12 and seniors 62+

$7/$5 for members
