The symphony is transformed into a storybook on this literary program. Made famous by Disney’s Fantasia, Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice tells the tale of an apprentice discovering his master’s magic (as told by the trumpets) to bring a broom (as told by the bassoon) to life.
Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony continues down this symphonic storytelling route, bringing to life the 1817 poem Manfred by Lord Byron. In this dramatic poem, the protagonist is riddled with a mysterious guilt, leading him to summon spirits to help him forget his shame.

Contemporary Craft is exploring the themes of grieving, mourning, and the celebration of life in its new regional, juried exhibition, “Hereafter.”
Craft objects have long been a vehicle for processing and understanding, and the act of creative expression itself can become an instrument for healing. Through the unique perspectives of the artists featured in “Hereafter”, this exhibition transcends individual experiences, to create a rich tapestry of cultural and ancestral connections, and brings forth an authentic portrayal of the grieving process. Each artwork becomes a poignant vessel, carrying the weight of emotions and memories.
To celebrate the high quality and breadth of work being created in the region, the call for “Hereafter” was open to craft artists based within 250 miles of Pittsburgh.
The gallery is open Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

When author and art therapist Hayley Wilds experienced her first miscarriage in 2017, she had no idea the challenging road that lay ahead. The silence and stigma she encountered made an already painful grieving process that much more difficult. Her new book, Creative Healing for Pregnancy Loss, endeavors to break that silence and give loss parents a sacred space for grieving.
Creative Healing for Pregnancy Loss, which goes on sale June 1, 2024, features research-backed information, creative prompts, therapeutic exercises, grief rituals, and validation from an art therapist with lived experience. “This is the book I wish I had during the tougher parts of my grief journey,” Wilds explains, stressing that she wants other loss parents to know they aren’t alone. “Pregnancy loss is more common than people realize. But no one talks about it, and that makes it hard to process what you’re going through.”
According to recent data, 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage, and 1 in 100 ends in stillbirth. With numbers like those, one might assume access to support is easy. But, as Wilds discovered throughout her journey, that is not the case. She hopes her book will give pregnancy loss survivors a much-needed resource as they navigate their unique grief experience. Wilds will be celebrating her new release with a launch party on June 1, 2024, from 5-8 p.m. at Fire K Studios in Pittsburgh, Pa. This free event will feature wine, food, a book signing, and a prize raffle. Pick-up a signed copy and find out why Dr. Sunita Osborn, psychologist and author of The Miscarriage Map, calls Creative Healing for Pregnancy Loss “a lifeline for women who are navigating the complex terrain of grief after pregnancy loss”.
Hayley Wilds is a psychotherapist with more than two decades of clinical experience and has her own practice, the Center for Creative Counseling - specializing in therapy for moms, including art therapy, family therapy and grief counseling. This is her first book.
The artists in Getting the Spirit Out, the 2024 Distillery Artist Residency Exhibition have created a group of works that feel distinctly alive — channeling spirits and visualizing the unseen energy around us. Though they all work in very different ways, using a variety of different media and processes, and draw on unique cultural backgrounds, the artists in this year’s Distillery cohort all use their practice to give life — to history, memory, suffering, and joy — and to set their creative spirits free. This year’s Artists-in-Residence are Imani Batts, Armanis Fuentes, Finn Dugan, Joshua Challen Ice, Evangeline Mensah-Agyekum, Sophie Thompson, and Caroline Yoo.
