SUMMARY:Paintable Pittsburgh: The Art of Henry Koerner at the Bost Building in Homestead
DESCRIPTION:Paintable Pittsburgh: The Art of Henry Koerner at the Bost Building in Homestead\n\nJoin us for the opening reception of Paintable Pittsburgh: The Art of Henry Koerner at the Bost Building in Homestead.\n\n\n Friday\, April 24\n 6–8 PM\n Bost Building\, 623 E 8th Ave\, Homestead\n Free & open to the public\n\n\nThis retrospective honors Henry Koerner (1915–1995)—a Vienna-born Jewish artist\, WWII veteran\, and longtime Pittsburgh resident whose work captured the city’s neighborhoods\, architecture\, and people with remarkable warmth and intimacy. From painting 46 Time magazine covers from life to later watercolors and oils of Pittsburgh streetscapes\, Koerner made this city his lifelong subject.\n\n\nCome celebrate the opening\, meet fellow art and history lovers\, and experience a Pittsburgh story told through paint.\n\n\nOn view April 24–July 31\, 2026.\n\n\nabout RIVERS OF STEEL\n\nRivers of Steel showcases the artistry and innovation of southwestern Pennsylvania’s industrial and cultural heritage through its historical and 21st-century attractions—offering unique experiences via tours\, workshops\, exhibitions\, festivals\, and more. \nBehind the scenes\, Rivers of Steel supports economic revitalization—working at the grassroots level to deepen community partnerships\, promote heritage tourism\, and preserve local recreational and cultural resources for future generations. \n\nOur Mission\n\n\n\nFounded on the principles of heritage development\, community partnership\, and a reverence for the region’s natural and shared resources\, Rivers of Steel strengthens the economic and cultural fabric of western Pennsylvania by fostering dynamic initiatives and transformative experiences. \nOur Story: A vision for the future\, built on the past\n\n\nRivers of Steel’s journey began in the aftermath of the collapsed steel industry. In 1988\, a group of citizens got together\, united by their concerns that with destruction of the shuttered mills an important part of our region’s culture was in danger of being erased\, too. \nThe prevailing sentiment at the time was not one of reverence for the industry; rather\, it was a stew of mixed emotions—anger for the way things went down\, loss of identity in the face of joblessness\, and fear of an uncertain future. The emotional landscape was too raw for most folks to want to celebrate what the steel industry once was\, especially when it was painfully obvious that this ‘industrial downturn’ reflected permanent change. \nLong story short: those citizens organized as a task force. Four years later\, the nonprofit organization that was to become Rivers of Steel was established to carry the torch of Big Steel and its related industries—not simply telling the companies’ stories and the products they made\, but the stories of the men and women who worked there. \nIt is a legacy was too important not to save. Relics and remnants were captured\, so were oral histories. The scope of which grew beyond the workers themselves\, encompassing the neighborhoods they represented—their languages\, their churches\, their traditions and recipes—and sowed the seeds of what was to become Rivers of Steel’s archival\, cultural conservation and exhibition programs. \n\n\nRivers of Steel: A nonprofit\, but also a place\nCreated by Congress in 1996\, the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area celebrates the region’s industrial history\, the landscape that fueled it\, and the hardworking men and women who made it possible\, linking its communities through their shared cultural and industrial heritage.
