WCDC’s Art All Over Campaign
Launches Third Season
Art All Over, the WCDC campaign dedicated to showcasing local artists and makers, kicked off its third season on Saturday, September 16 with an opening reception at the Lohr Gallery.
Since Art All Over’s inception in 2021, the Lohr Gallery has hosted 13 shows for hundreds of attendees and sold dozens of art pieces from this initiative, providing an arts-focused space for the Wilkinsburg community, as well as a platform for local artists.
“CDCP has been thrilled to partner on Art All Over with the WCDC for the past two years,” says Casey Droege of Casey Droege Cultural Productions. “It’s a platform for artists that aligns with our own mission of building the arts economy. It not only pays artists to showcase their work but pays an amount that aligns with local and national standards, as set by Wage for Work and VACE. It also invites visitors to the Lohr Gallery to see work from artists who are connected to the community of Wilkinsburg, in a comfortable and accessible space.”
“[At Eastern Standard Photo], I develop film and act as a mini film lab,” says Lanzendorfer. “I do everything by hand but also do a lot of education. That’s kind of the core. I love teaching analog methods of taking photos, so I do a lot of workshops.”
Lanzendorfer calls her clients “the greatest mix,” including everyone from beginners to college students looking to expand their skills beyond what their school offers to tech and medical-oriented people who want to break away from their lifestyles.
The Point Park University photojournalism graduate credits a lot of her training to the now-shuttered Pittsburgh Filmmakers, where she learned techniques in analog processes and the fine arts. This craftsmanship is on display at her exhibit Pennies in the Wishing Well, available to view at the Lohr Gallery now through November 18.
The Wilkinsburg community can look forward to more Art All Over exhibits for the 2023-24 season, including artists Jasmine Green and Lizzee Solomon.
Pennies in the Wishing Well is on display on Saturdays from now until Nov. 18th from 12 to 5 PM at the Lohr Gallery.
