Help Bring Sasquatch to The Ruins



Did you know that outside of the Northwest coast states, Pennsylvania ranks a close runner-up in the number of sasquatch sightings? 

The Youghiogheny River bottom is a very squatchy region. Dating back several hundred years, native tribes who hunted and fished this area of the river shared stories of competing with hostile sasquatch groups.

To read more about the sightings in The Whitsett area read Rachel Sager's latest blog 


In the spirit of this strong Bigfoot energy, Sager Mosaics has made the exciting decision to hire an award-winning and internationally known mosaic artist to build Sasquatch to scale on a predetermined wall at The Ruins.  

Yulia Hanansen, a second generation artist, was born in Russia and grew up in the foot hills of The Pamir Mountains. She remembers fondly hunting for The Yeti as a child. We are honored that her award-winning work will become a part of The 2020 Ruins Project.

PREPARE TO GET MESSY ON NEW YEAR’S DAY AT THE SCIENCE CENTER VISITORS ARE INVITED TO START 2020 WITH MESSFEST TRADITION

Image
MessFest, Carnegie Science Center’s one-of-a-kind tradition to kick off the New Year, is back! Free with general admission, the 14th annual messy celebration returns on Wed., Jan. 1 and features the slimiest, yuckiest, and gooiest activities for visitors of all ages. From 10 am to 5 pm, visitors get hands-on (literally) with the gooey substance Oobleck, share their creative side with finger painting, and enjoy a pudding “Pi” eating contest. The Egg Drop activity invites visitors to engineer a package for raw eggs that will protect their “egg-stronauts” as the eggs hurtle over a two-story drop. It’s fun for the whole family and, best of all, parents don’t have to clean up after their kids! Visitors are advised: You WILL get messy, so don’t dress up! Along with activity tables, visitors can experience high-energy, grossly entertaining programs in the Science Center’s BodyStage, presented by Allegheny Health Network. MessFest is presented by PPG and sponsored by WISH 99.7. For more inform

Get a Head Start on New Year's Eve with Roger Humprhies and the RH Factor

Image
Roger Humphries and the RH Factor's Tribute to Art Blakey Special Guest: Brazilian Vocalist Kenia Friday, December 27, 8:00 p.m. Jazz drummer Roger Humphries is a household name in Pittsburgh. Deservedly so!  Music critics rate him one of the most exciting percussionists in the business today.  Roger credits Art Blakey with teaching him how to swing. Blakey, born in Pittsburgh in 1919, had a profound influence on mainstream jazz. Purportedly, Blakey started his music career on piano, but was persuaded –  at gunpoint –  to switch to drums.  A club owner who wanted to clear the piano for a young Erroll Garner.  However he found his way to drums, Blakey went on to jazz greatness with his band, the Jazz Messengers. The performance will be followed by a dessert reception in the Lincoln Gallery. Enjoy a complimentary prosecco toast (21+).  Wine and beer by donation, thereafter. Tickets: $25 in advance; $30 at the door; Youth 12 and under $10 Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall
