“Perfect date night!!!! Went to a class where my girlfriend & I both made our own pint glasses & had some delicious beer from 2 Frays. I dont know if it's the beer, or the super fun and unique experience, but we had greatest time! *also shoutout to instructor Leo, couldn't have asked for a better guide through it!”
“Despite the bright panels on the outside, Irma Freeman Center for the Imagination is in many ways a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of place. Even after having been past it on foot several times, I often had fairly little idea what it was. My first impression was that it might be a community center for disabled or destitute youths, and therefore somewhere that serves a valuable cultural function but in which I have no place. I was very incorrect in this assumption, as I found out later. One day, while the doors were open, I walked in. I was treated to a private, minimalistic indie gallery featuring work by local artists. At the time, the exhibit focused principally on abandoned sites in the Pittsburgh area, with photographs giving an eerie portrait of the region's history. It was as though the photographers were archaeologists documenting recent times that have fallen into obscurity and ruin. This is of course not the only exhibit: Irma Freeman's collections, ever changing, deal with a number of different artists and themes. Gift shop at the front door and opening night receptions every First Friday of the month. Strongly recommend!”
“Honestly, this was one of the best kinds of experiences best seen in person and not through a picture. Through the entire walk through, there are no dull spots. Everywhere you look has a bright, colorful creation. I'd love to come back and see new creations added in the future! I would also love to experience this at different times of day and different seasons and see how different the art reflects! Hands down a favorite place to visit.”
“Amazing energy and such cool art! The artists are all so kind and willing to put the work in to make something you love! LOVE how each artist has a different style. 10/10 would recommend to ANYONE! (Also super fair pricing)”
“A beautifully morbid collection of items. There's high priced items for collectors, smaller items for gifts or souvenirs, and an interesting display of things not for sale. As an out of state visitor, it was worth the time to visit. I hope to come back one day!”

“We had a piece of artwork framed here (and are going to have more framing done in the future). My experience with J.J. Gillespie was excellent. Mark is very professional and courteous. You never feel rushed because he wants you to be satisfied with your choice. He has a great aesthetic eye for matching an artwork with a frame so that it compliments and highlights, but does not detract from the image. I highly recommend J.J. Gillespie for their professionalism and reasonable cost. AAA+++”
“I stopped in randomly making my way through The Strip District a few months ago. After looking at his work, I felt I had found the right person to make the urn for my father's remains. My father died 7 years ago, so you can imagine I've been looking for a while. He was kind and respectful, and our whole encounter, he was honest about what he could and couldn't do.He reached out when it was completed, but I was in the middle of a bunch of different crises. He held it for over a month, waiting for me to be able to get there without ever pressuring me. I finally picked it up today. It is exactly what I wanted simple but one of a kind.”
“Excellent experience with Nicole @ BoxHeart Gallery! We ordered a painting to be shipped to NC. Her communication was excellent (and friendly). We received our painting quickly and it was well-packaged, and we couldn't be happier with the entire experience.”
“They always have the prettiest turquoise that you won't find anywhere else and they are very reasonably priced. The place is fantastic.! I treasure every piece of jewelry that I bought in there...”
“If you're a huge admirer of contemporary art then this is the place to go. Edward Eberle is a well-known and highly respected ceramicist in the 21st century. His work is very refined and in tune with geometrical pattern in relationship to nature. You will feel in zen when you look at his work. I highly recommend this place when you're in Pittsburgh!”
“Everyone was incredibly kind, helpful, personable, and seemed genuinely happy to be doing what they're doing.Craftsmanship is on point; Sturdy and heavy duty.They make me want to paint so I can work with them more often.”

“10/10 spot! The owner, Jason, has such positive vibes and Mike, who’s tattooed me for 7 years, is a great addition to the shop. He always knocks it out of the park and brings his own dope style to an already dope place. So happy this place is open again and will definitely be a regular stop for me!”
“Very insightful exhibits. I recently attended the one that showcased local Pittsburgh artists and was completely lost in the different works. Plus, occasionally there are even baked goods!I highly recommend you check it out and see what's on display!”
“Finally someone knows how to properly frame and present custom pieces! I am beyond impressed and happy with the quality of work that was done. I look forward to having more work done by this location!! Thank you!!!”

“I love Pittsburgh Pottery. You can find all things Pittsburgh here. They have mugs, magnets, prints, etc. Everything is hand crafted and unique. You can find classic Pittsburgh sayings like "jag off" or "jeet yet" on everything. This is the perfect store for Pittsburgh lovers or tourist that want a good souvenir. Don't forget about all the pierogie references.”
“I've been taking a pottery class there and I love it! We're in a small group, we are fairly free to do what we want and our teacher is here to help, answer questions and show us the way.”
“Hiroaki Umeda's performance was breathtaking and highly thought provoking, the space was intimate. I'm looking forward to returning to see the follow on installation, very highly recommend.”
“This was incredible.My fiance and I went here on a weekday afternoon so it wasn't horribly busy. We had VIP passes, which I recommend as you have a flexible window in which to visit and also get free lanyards, posters, sunflowers, and cushions to sit on while enjoying the show.The actual exhibit was different than I expected. It is a 30ish minute long show that loops constantly instead of a walk through exhibit like I was expecting. I didn't mind that though.The music was expertly orchestrated to move with the art and enhanced everything about the experience. Mirrored columns reflected the art instead of interrupting the immersion. Colors flowed and moved playfully across the floor in perfect combination with the art all around.Everything about this experience was magic.”
“I have been coming to this store with my family for years and they have the best Pittsburgh-related gifts and high quality gemstones. One of my top favorite stores in the Strip District. I love Art of Steel!”

“Jeff was awesome! He walked me through the process of selecting a frame and which glass to use for an old drawing of my wife's family's farm, and it could not have turned out better. On top of everything, Jeff even worked with me to stop in at the store on off hours because I was unable to pickup during normal hours. I will 100% be using Jeff from here on for all my art and framing needs.”
