In its new exhibition, “芸[Gei]: The Beauty of Ephemeral and Eternal”, Contemporary Craft invites viewers to explore the captivating duality between the beauty of Ikebana – traditional Japanese flower arrangement – and the eternal nature of well-crafted objects. Four artists engage with members of Sogetsu Ikebana Pittsburgh, sparking contemplation of time, materiality, and heritage. This dialogue illuminates profound connections in Japanese culture that are woven throughout these art forms, harmonizing impermanence and eternity in Japan’s cultural tapestry - bridging past, present, and future. Featured artists include Tadao Arimoto, Carol Kumata, Miwa Neishi, and Yoko Sekino-Bové.

The gallery is open Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Sister Soul Spectrum exhibits artworks from the #notwhite collective. Spanning photography, painting, mixed media, and more, individual pieces explore cultural heritage, personal identities, and feminist ideologies. The exhibition investigates ways collective members are seen (or not seen) and how they seek liberation through sharing space, telling stories, researching, and making art.

The #notwhite collective is a group of women artists whose mission is to use non-individualistic, multi-disciplinary art to make their stories visible as they relate, connect, and belong to the Global Majority. The collective uses art to excavate histories, expose realities, exorcize oppression, and actively reject colonialism.

Sister Soul Spectrum is on view at KST’s lobby gallery. The gallery is open to the public during and one hour before every KST Presents event. Arrive early and take a look!
