The most beautiful park in Pittsburgh for me, full of wonderful memories
Have done senior and family portraits here. It's a hidden gem
Excellent hand made artwork. Prices very affordable for many, many items. This is a GREAT place to find gifts, or items to decorate your home.
This art gallery and store is a wonderful gem of Pittsburgh. The art inside has to be from artists that live in a certain mile radius of the city. Many of the pieces are unique. I also adore being around the beautiful grounds and the happy yellow mansion.
I really enjoyed my wheel throwing class with Dacey and I plan to sign up for more classes. Parking is easy, the facilities are well maintained, and the staff are friendly and inclusive.
Fabulous gift shop, all local artist items, first rate. Check class schedule, be creative.
Bach, Beethoven, and Brunch on summer Sunday mornings are always enjoyable.
Gallery, excellent gift shop, children, teen and adult classes, lovely old houses in a beautiful setting, Mellon Park.
Great classes with great teachers. Lots of class options.
Their store has an excellent collection of local Pittsburgh art
Gorgeous location! As an on location portrait photographer, I've been able to showcase families and their high school seniors in the beautiful atmosphere of Mellon Park!
Took a ceramics class with my 10yo son. The group was sized appropriately for the classroom and the instructor was very informative and fun. We had a wonderful time.
The gardens here give a great perspective on the history and local Flora and fona.
I can't believe how good the ceramics studio is here. I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life, I had no idea there was such an amazing space for ceramics so close by. I've been in a handful of studios, this one is by far the best.
Came here to see the creation of a mandala.
The two monks did a fantastic job explaining the process.... The Art Center has a great exhibition and I love the store. A great place to buy some unique and beautiful art.
The current director has destroyed the Photo, Film and Media programs. This used to be a bastion of Pittsburgh arts culture; its future is now in question due to abhorrent mismanagement and deliberate sabotage.
Big historic building. Went to a pottery show there. Liked it.
Go see the current exhibit. Local artists belonging to Group A guild.
They closed on Saturday at 3:00, though info I found online said they'd be open until 5:00.
I had visited previously and love the Ron Donough exhibit and was disappointed I couldn't share that on Saturday with my sister from out of town, as planned. Will try again, though.
This is a great place for arts and crafts related classes. Also a good venue for receptions (wedding or otherwise).
My first time. Wow! Parking was good, the exhibits were amazing, and their shop with merchandise from local artists is incredible!
This place is super neat. I bought my wife her christmas presents there. Some local made jewelry, but they have so much more. And lots of 'burgh stuff!
Enjoyed my time there. Very open, friendly and casual environment. They host lots of cool events for beginners, children, and adults. Great couple activity.
We go here for Calliope shows every now and then. The Roots Cellar is an excellent live music space. Highly recommend checking out a show here!
This is a very well designed art gallery with very well curated shows. There is also a store that sells art pieces for the home. The venue is attractive and comfortable.
One of the best places to have Art class in Pittsburgh.
The Feb 2015 exhibit of 9 artists was DISMAL, incoherent, lame. So accustomed to much better at the Center for the Arts. We were sad and disappointed. This new curator has to go find another line of work.
A wonderful example of preserved history for the city of Pittsburgh
This is a gorgeous space and the way they put the show together was stunning- very well appointed. The only reason they get 4 instead of 5 stars was: I wanted to buy a piece, a piece without a red dot, and after growing attached to the idea I was told the pierce was sold. Sad, oh sadness. I did greet the artists info, but still. Wah-wah. Coffee pot by Scott Cornish.
Very slow service and forgetting items off the order
Excrllent shows. Thanks for hosting the NCECA student juried exhibition!
Awesome day..beautiful wedding ceremony and good food....I'll never forget this day :)
Excellent place for art and community. I grew up attending their excellent summer programs!
Excellent exhibits. An amazing curator and manager. You should go support it.
This was exactly what I had hoped it would be! Fantastic, original artwork from a myriad of artists and a wonderful range of prices! The layout was great and the staff was super helpful.
I have taken two introduction classes through PCA for adults. The facility is very nice, clean, and has easy parking. It is right beside the scenic Mellon Park. I have had a very good experience overall and have learned a lot. The PCA is a fantastic resource here for novice or more experienced artists.
The classes differ depending on the teacher and that can be a good or bad thing. One class was much more structured and one was not. I learned a lot and enjoyed both of them very much, but I wish there was a bit more information of the content and class expectations before signing up.
Walked in a fashion show for mothers day. Beautiful vunue
Beautifully landscaped. This is great place to walk your dog or take a jog around the park
I will miss this location. Great gifts and art. Beautiful mansion and knowledgeable staff.
Great exhibits, amazing gallery manager/curator. Love to see more shows there!
I worked at a event there and the place is very nice
Love the little shop with local goods and the arts programs they provide for the area. I had a wonderful time in their painting 101 class.
Awesome half day and full day summer arts camps for kids age four and up! So much fun!
The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts has wonderful exhibits and their gift shop is amazing and wonderful!
I love all of the absolutley beautiful artisan products that they carry. Gorgeous pottery, stained glass, beautiful artwork and jewelry, they have such a wonderful rotation of hand made products.
Always a good time, great helpful staff and creative fun environment!
I took an enameling class with Lindsay Huff at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. The class had approximately 8 adult students for a three hour class for 4 weeks. We had a great time and learned several styles of enameling. My piece below could still use a polishing etc. I included a couple of pics of the steps. It was interesting and fun seeing what everone made.
