Post Gazette: "Shepard Fairey isn't the only one jazzing up Pittsburgh's landscape these days with murals and messages.
Colorful murals and whimsical construction debris art by 100 local youths are adding color to the construction site of the new Penguins arena in Uptown."

What a clever idea, and a great learning opportunity for the kids who participated in building the art pieces! I really appreciated the incorporation of the lesson plans and field trips into enhancing the experience of creating the pieces; the first-years certainly learned a lot about finding artistic inspiration from Phipps Conservatory in our latest project, but also learning about green practices and LEED certification are great lessons for young children. As a final thought, these art pieces will end up going back to the youth organizations who will greatly appreciate the donations to their spaces, but the pieces will also foster a pride in the cooperation between the organization and the community.
