The Art Box will open into an all-inclusive artist studio space where artists create an original piece of visual art work within a one-week residency. The residencies will take place outdoors in five Pittsburgh neighborhoods during the summer months of 2011: Friendship, Lawrenceville, Polish Hill, Southside, and Central Northside. This is the artists' blog.

Ian Green: First Day Commons Park, North Side
Today was hot! I opted to not put the EZ-up over the box so the tarp wouldn't throw blue light down on the canvas. I worked facing into the box with the sun on my neck. 'A hat would be good', I thought.
I started on a smaller canvas a little improvisation of broken concrete and pools of water. I had just a few interactions that day.
A lot of people interested in the box seemed to think it was a mobile portrait studio. "Draw/Paint a picture of me!" One person named Erin showed me her Etch-O-Sketch portfolio. WOW! She had scenes from cartoons, medical illustrations...all sorts of stuff.
