The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Hosts A Gallery Crawl

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust Department of Education and Community Engagement heats up the Downtown Pittsburgh Cultural District with the first free Gallery Crawl of 2010 on Friday, January 22, from 5:30 - 9 p.m. This exhilarating evening of events showcases an array of activities throughout the Cultural District with the trademark, eclectic mix of visual art, dance, music and more.

"Now beginning its sixth year, the Gallery Crawl continues to be a gateway for new patronage in Pittsburgh's Cultural District, while also bringing people together to socialize and explore their shared curiosity for varied art forms," said Kathryn J. Heidemann, Senior Manager of Education and Community Engagement, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.

All Gallery Crawl events are free and open to the public. For more information and a map of the Gallery Crawl events, visit pgharts.org or call (412) 456-6666. The Gallery Crawl in the Cultural District is sponsored by First Commonwealth with media support from City Paper and 91.3fm WYEP.
