And now we can say that the 2026 Pittsburgh Fringe Festival is officially over!!

A ***HUGE*** thank you to all of our participating artists from near & far (if you're at another arts event and see one of our artists/artist groups, please continue to support them!!); thank you for trusting us and allowing us to share your work with this wonderful city.

Thank you of course to all of our AUDIENCES!! We are so happy you came out and saw/took part in all of our shows and events!!

Thank you to our *100% COMPLETELY VOLUNTEER STAFF*, including our managers, our admins, our coordinators, our interviewers, PR people, the press, our venue staff, and all of our crews. You are so appreciated!

Thank you to all of the venue owners/operators/administrators and their staff members that chose to be a part of our festival this year and every year; your support and shared belief that Pittsburgh has a lot of art that deserves to be seen is immeasurable.

Opening Reception Tonight!

You are warmly invited to the opening of 'People Places Things' by Jen L'Insalata at 🎨

(Tonight, March 27th 6p-9pmish with additional hours on Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th from 1p-4p!)

This exhibition brings together figures, landscapes, and still lifes to explore how people, places, and objects connect to create meaning.

Rooted in Gestalt ideas of holistic perception, the work reflects how narrative emerges from relationships rather than isolated subjects. Through color, emotion, and sensory detail, these paintings invite you to experience quiet stories held within the familiar.
