More about Zach Rutter:

Zachary Rutter, a seasoned artist and muralist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, infuses his work with vibrant colors and optimistic imagery, aiming to spread messages of love and positivity. His artistic journey began at a pivotal moment in childhood when he stumbled upon a Spider-Man comic in a toy store. The overwhelming joy and fascination he experienced holding that comic ignited a lifelong passion for art. For over a decade, Rutter has embraced this calling with unwavering dedication, knowing deep within that art found him and will remain an integral part of his identity for the rest of his days.

Beyond his studio practice, Rutter extends his creativity to community initiatives, painting free fridges to bring both color and food to the lives of people in need. His commitment to global outreach led him to spend two weeks painting murals at a schoolhouse in Ghana, inspiring the children of the village through art. Additionally, he dedicates much of his time to live painting at various charitable organizations and fundraisers, supporting causes such as Best Buddies, The Pens Foundation, The Ronald McDonald House, Hope for Ghana, and more. Through his art and philanthropy, Rutter continues to make a meaningful impact, spreading hope and joy wherever his brush touches. https://www.zacharyrutterart.com/

At Eberle Studios we believe in supporting artists and the possibilities of clay as a medium in Fine Art. Our goal is to be a hub for Pittsburgh artists who wish to further their careers through community and studio practice in ceramics!

More about Eberle Studios:

Eberle Studios offers individual studio memberships for artists pursuing a fine art studio practice. Our studios offer you a great environment to propel your career working in community with other artists. Having a great space allows you to focus on your work, and the Pittsburgh arts ecosystem is a great city for you to accomplish your goals.

Our art studios are geared for artists who work in fine art ceramics and sculpture. Many of our artists also work in mixed media, time based media, installation art, performance and more! You do not have to work exclusively in ceramics to be an artist at Eberle Studios, although we are totally set up for it!

Each semi private studio space can be customized with benches and shelving according to the artist’s individual needs. Additional facilities include a kitchen, reception buffet, and ample lounge space for meetings and portfolio reviews! Kiln firings are assisted by the studio manager and booked by a calendar. Firing fees are affordable, and based upon customized options as needed.

The artists at Eberle studios are building their careers together! The application process is competitive as there are limited studio spaces available.
