This is an event I want to promote. I honor your vision and audience, so I thought this would be a good place for this. It's the Pittsburgh Visionary Arts Festival, a unique event to counterpart and expand the limited existing art scene by providing an alternative which is not craft, product or profit based. In the VAF's definition of "visionary" special attention is given to political, environmental and social activism and art.

The first Pittsburgh Visionary Arts Festival is bringing together more than 50 local visionary artists and art innovators into a single venue. For three full days, these artists will share their work, vision and unique ideas in a friendly outdoors festival setting. The VAF will feature a rich diversity of minds, covering the full spectrum of art mediums: from painting to mixed media, from digital media to sound art, through recycled and self-taught art… and beyond! Experience a slice of Pittsburgh’s greatest visionary art, in a festival that hopes to decorate your soul rather than your living room! Free and open to the public. August 7, 8 and 9, from 12pm to 9pm. Schenley Plaza, (directly in front of the Cathedral of Learning, in the heart of Oakland.)
