Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and Creative Citizens Studios
Juried by Disparate Minds - an interdisciplinary project dedicated to increasing visibility for marginalized self-taught artists in a contemporary context.
Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and Creative Citizens Studios present GROWTH, an exhibition of work by artists from both organizations, side by side, at Associated Artists’ exhibition space in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood. Curated by Chicago-based Disparate Minds, the exhibition presents an inclusive take on visual understandings and interpretations of growth in an artist’s practice, career, and style.
“GROWTH features a selection of artists that reflects diverse approaches to art-making - from abstract to representational, personal to universal, the handmade to digital - offering a glimpse into the wide range of complex works currently being produced by Pittsburgh-based artists,” notes Disparate Minds team Andreana Donahue and Tim Ortiz. “Our primary curatorial focus for this group exhibition has been to highlight connections between artists from CCS and AAP, in both creative process and relationship to the overarching concept of growth.”
The exhibition features work from 26 artists, and it marks the second collaboration in two years between these two organizations. The exhibition is made possible through a grant from the Arts, Equity, & Education Fund, a private foundation established in late 2017 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to amplify change and elevate underrepresented voices in the arts and education ecosystems.
