Tell us about your art. Is there a meaning behind it? What emotions do you intend to invoke? Generally our artists interpret the world with a positive spin, looking for beauty in all of nature’s glory.
Why should Mt. Lebanon residents come see your display? People visit art galleries for inspiration and a lift of their spirits. Art enriches people’s lives.
Where else can your work be found? We also exhibit locally in The Galleria’s spring and fall art exhibits.
The next is slated for Oct. 20 to 29 in the lower level.
Whitehall Arts is a group of 10 artists from across the South Hills. Several of the members have been with the group since its 1969 founding by John Johns.
The group was founded with the intent to promote art in the South Hills and create artist connections, as well as to help them exhibit and sell their work. Artists abilities range from beginner to professional.
Whitehall Arts also provides an opportunity for artists to learn from each other and guests artists, along with attending workshops. Interested artists can contact Diane Murray to join: dmurray100@comcast.net.
