Create photograms—camera-less photographs—with Pittsburgh as a backdrop!

Silver Eye Center for Photography’s exhibition, Past Present Future: Western Pennsylvania’s Places and People, will serve as inspiration for this session led by Ashley McNelis, Curatorial Assistant, Carnegie Int’l, 57th ed., 2018. The exhibition marks Silver Eye’s grand re-opening in a new space on Penn Avenue!

All materials will be provided.

Tam O’Shanter Drawing Sessions

These creative sessions are for those who draw and for those who don’t. Explore contemporary art through improvised forms of drawing with artists and organizers of the 2018 Carnegie International. Sketching, doodling, cartooning, mapping, writing, and marking are among the many modes that will bring us together.

Named after the original art classes for young people that Carnegie Museum of Art has been holding since 1929; the tam o’shanter, or tam, is a Scottish beret—oft adorned by a pompom.
