In one entrance to Pittsburgh’s Frick Park resides a new “living laboratory” called the Frick Environmental Center. Created as a public space for environmental education, it first opened its doors on September 10th of this year. Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design teaching professor Tom Merriman and his wife, Constance, have a project currently on exhibit in the Environmental Center called “One Year in Frick Park”.

John Riegert is an almost two-year-long project curated by Brett Yasko, a graphic designer and adjunct faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design, which asks the question, “What happens when an entire artistic community addresses the same subject?” John Riegert, which opened at the SPACE Gallery in Pittsburgh on June 24th and runs until September 4th, features portraits of Riegert done by 252 artists from the Pittsburgh area.
