Happening This Week:

Pittsburgh's Ballparks Past and Present ⚾

April 23 | Allegheny HYP Club
Join teacher and baseball historian, Vincent T. Ciaramella on a trip across the city and across time from 1857-2025 as we explore the many places that Pittsburgh has played ball.

There’s nothing more exciting than going to a ball game. The sites, the sounds, the atmosphere all contribute to our enjoyment as the game itself. The ballparks of Pittsburgh have left a historic footprint on the collective psyche of our town. But do you know where the first baseball game in Pittsburgh was played? What about the legend of the monkey buried under home plate? What about the lost ballpark that was THE actual first Black owned and operated that now lies forgotten in a tangle of weeds and bramble?

Kara Walker: Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) 🖼️

Mar. 1 - May 25 | Frick Pittsburgh

Comprised of 15 large scale prints, Kara Walker: Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War (Annotated) revisits the historical representations found in the two-volume anthology published in 1866, "Harper’s Pictorial History of the Civil War." Walker overlays enlargements of woodcut plates with her black silkscreen cutout figures in solid black silhouette. In doing so, Walker brings to light experiences of racism that were often omitted or merely hinted at in traditional historical narratives.
