Creative Citizen Studios x Mentorship with Associated Artists of Pittsburgh
Creative Citizen Studios (CCS) uses art to bring people of all abilities together. We work with artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities to make, exhibit, and sell their work. Our weekly art classes, workshops, and exhibit opportunities help promote our artists while connecting them with a larger community of artists.
CCS is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with Citizen-artists featured in local, regional, and national art shows and exhibit spaces.
Mentorships with Associated Artists of Pittsburgh!
Every Friday CCS Art-Lab students are meeting up with Artists from the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh for a 1:1 mentorship project. Each partner pair is creating a work of art together while learning about the tools of the trade in an everyday artist's life. So far artists are engaging in pen & ink drawing, watercolor and photographic collage, cartooning, woodcutting, fiber art, crochet, nature illustration, animal, landscape drawings & more!
