No Rest for the Artistic

Wow, these last two weeks certainly been a whirlwind!

We started out in Ireland, then on to Picklesburgh, and we’ll finish at a brand new festival in Bethel Park this weekend!

Our trip to Ireland was truly a dream vacation, full of unforgettable sights, smells, and sounds. As it turns out, we weren’t quite done with the Emerald Isle yet! As we finished loading the van after Picklesburgh ended, Jade, who works for Fly Space (who helped set up this year’s footprint of the festival), stopped by to ask what we thought about the festival. In just a few sentences, we all realized she was from Ireland! So after I thanked her for a well-run, successful show, we talked about her home country. As the Irish say,” Once you get us talking, we never stop!”

Picklesburgh was invigorating! In the four days we were there, we saw only happy people! Saturday seemed like the best attended day, with lines up and down the street, but no sad faces. We laughed and joked that it was probably because there was beer to be had on every corner and inbetween… pickle beer, that is!

Something new is coming to Pittsburgh on Saturday. Bethel Park will be hosting its very first Arts and Music Festival from 10 am to 8 pm on July 27th.  Many of my fellow artists and I will be set up in the Community Center.

If you live in or near Pittsburgh, you won’t want to miss this one. Be a part of the Bethel Park’s First Annual Art & Music Festival! Come and share the excitement, eat some fun food, and listen to some great music! There will be lots of activities for all ages!

I hope to see you there!!!
