Biota Catalog Release Party

Join us for the release of our catalog highlighting the artwork of our 2025 fall invitational exhibition, Biota!

 

View the exhibition, meet artists in the show, and take home a limited-edition booklet that you can continue to revisit the exhibition with!

 

Biota refers to the plant and animal life of a region, the particular biological community that forms as a response to the physical environment and climate.

In our invitational exhibition, the works not only feature flora, fauna, and figures—life in its many forms—but the artists themselves represent the creative biome born out of Pittsburgh’s own distinctness. We are a city nestled amidst Appalachia, steel and industry juxtaposed with lush woods in a region that is ever-changing.

With this exhibition, we invite you to consider biota as creative community, and to consider your distinct place within it.

 

Biota features the work of:

Sandra Bacchi, Sarah Cohen, Tim Englehardt, Annie Heisey, Bryan McCormick, Laura Jean McLaughlin, Saihou Njie, Sophia Pappas, Curtis Reaves, John Burt Sanders, Zoë Welsh, Kara Zuzu
