Pitt UAG

We are gearing up for our first big exhibition of the year: Greer Lankton: Science Fictions. Lankton was a pioneering trans artist whose work probed myths of s*x and gender. Curated by Isaiah Bertagnolli, this exhibition is drawn from the Greer Lankton archive at .
The exhibition opens to the public Friday, Sept 16. More details to follow!

We are happy to re-open the UAG to the public with the new exhibition, Women of Visions: Celebrating 40 Years. This project is the result of a year-long collaboration between WoV, Pitt's Museum Studies students, and the UAG.

Founded in 1981, Women of Visions is believed to be the longest-running collective of Black women artists in the United States. The 50 works in the exhibition span a range of media, from painting and sculpture to quilts and ceramics.

This exhibition includes works by all current WOV members:
