• Urban Sketchers Workshop & Paintable Pittsburgh at Rivers of Steel

    Rivers of Steel 623 E 8th Ave, Homestead, PA

    Urban Sketchers Workshop & Paintable Pittsburgh at Rivers of Steel Inspired by Henry Koerner's love of drawing from real life. Join us for a sketching workshop hosted by members of the Urban Sketchers PGH group. He was often found drawing and painting around Pittsburgh, toting his easel and paints across the city on his bicycle. We will meet in the Bost Building 3rd floor gallery to see Paintable Pittsburgh: The Art of Henry Koerner then head out into the neighborhood together to do some sketching. Afterwards we will return to the gallery to share what we drew with the group. Participants are welcome to bring their own sketchbook; however, materials will be provided for those if needed. This event is free and open to the public. About Urban Sketchers PGH Urban Sketchers Pittsburgh meets every Thursday evening in person at different locations around the city to sketch from observation as a group. Artists of all ages and skill levels are welcome, any and all art styles and materials are permitted and encouraged, there is no prior registration or signup needed, and it is free to attend.

    Jazz Lunch with the Thomas Wendt Quartet at Golden Age Beer Co. | Weekly 12:00 PM  3:00 PM Golden Age Beer Company337 East 8th AvenueHomestead, PA, 15120United States (map) Pittsburgh’s next-generation jazz drummer puts together a quartet of the city’s best jazz professionals every Sunday from 12-3 at Golden Age to start your Sunday Funday off with some spectacular vibes.   We love lager. We started Golden Age Beer Co. because we are passionate about making clean and crisp lagers that are eminently drinkable. From crisp Northern German and fragrant Italian-style pilsners to luxurious dunkels and Franconian rauchbiers to the easy-drinking, “lawnmower” American lager, we believe that, with their clean, subtle and eminently-drinkable finesse, lagers are the beers that bring people together, that cross divides, and that are both the past and the future of beer.  And so we brought a brewery that makes lager its primary focus to Pittsburgh and, more particularly, to Homestead.  Indeed, we believe that to do anything else would be an injustice to this community’s hard-working, steely heritage and resolve.  When this community rose up in 1892 to rebuff a barge full of armed Pinkertons, it was fueled by Homestead-brewed lager, while the very brewers who crafted that lager […]

We open with a short circle to share community agreements and offer a few tools for navigating consent, communication, and comfort in shared space.

This space is queer-affirming, trauma-informed, and sensory-friendly. What can I expect at this event?
