SUMMARY:Miracles of Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:What is a miracle? How can an artist connect with mysteries that reveal extraordinary moments of surprising truth and beauty in everyday life? \nWhether you’re a long-time believer or a professional skeptic\, the Miracles of Pittsburgh tour invites you to encounter secret spaces that spark contemplation\, reflection\, and acts of witness. The morning includes three creative prompts during a silent walking tour with stops at Holy Spirit Byzantine Church; Friends Quaker Meeting House; and St. Paul’s Cathedral. \nThese three houses of worship are situated inside a single 1-mile route in Pittsburgh’s Oakland neighborhood\, and demonstrate some of the rich and diverse religious identities of our city. \nThese faith communities welcome those of all faiths (or no faith) into their spaces for contemplation and reflection. At each stop\, participants will complete creative activities focused on secrets\, mysteries\, beauty\, truth\, and grief in an attempt to make the invisible power surrounding us visible. \nParticipants should bring a writing utensil and a notebook.

SUMMARY:Love Letters in Secret Gardens: Highland Park and East Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Dear M\,\nYour letter made me look for the map\, I started getting lost in it. Isn’t a map supposed to guide? When you think about your lover\, eleven years ago\, who do you find? Can you see yourself through the lens of time? Have you ever mapped your affections\, drawing paths from one lover to another? So many questions… \nWalk with artist Carolina Loyola-Garcia as she leads a tour through amorous letters\, gardens\, and Madeleine de Scudery’s “Map of Love.” You will have the opportunity to experience remembrance in association with movement in the cozy and safe environment of beautiful gardens in Highland Park and East Liberty. You will not need a topographic map\, but might leave the tour with a draft of an emotional map and the beginning of a letter\, along with some gestures to accompany it all. \nUsing a few back alleys\, we will traverse a new path\, trying to find a connection to the backyard of your own memories. There will be prompts at each stage\, to engage you with your own self and memory\, and maybe with those of others. What have you erased and what have you kept? Who have you kept and who has been forgotten? Still\, so many questions… \nPlease bring a notebook and a writing implement. \nAbout Carolina Loyola-Garcia\nCarolina Loyola-Garcia is a multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker\, and educator whose work explores the intersections of identity\, memory\, and the human condition. Originally from Santiago\, Chile\, she has spent decades contributing to the cultural landscape of Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, where she established a practice that bridges experimental storytelling with digital innovation. \nHer artistic approach often blends diverse media—including photography\, video\, and performance—to examine how we relate to our environments and one another. In her large- scale commissions\, she frequently utilizes digital collage and fractal geometry to create immersive visual experiences that offer a sense of solace and wonder. As an artist committed to the public sphere\, Loyola-Garcia’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally\, reflecting her belief that art is a vital tool for community connection and personal reflection. Her practice remains a constant search for the beauty and complex rhythms inherent in both nature and the human spirit. \nMeeting Location\nParticipants will meet at the corner of Stanton Avenue and North Euclid Avenue\, Pittsburgh 15206. \nParking and Transportation\nStreet parking is available within the vicinity. \nIf taking public transportation\, there are several nearby Pittsburgh Regional Transit stops\, including one at the corner of Stanton Avenue and N.

SUMMARY:Utility Notation
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever noticed the dots\, lines\, and dashes spray painted on the ground and wondered what they meant? Join artist Ruby Waldo for Utility Notation\, a guided walk through Point Breeze to learn how to recognize and interpret utility code. \nJust as the sidewalk directs the movement of pedestrians above the ground\, electric cables\, gas lines\, water mains\, and sewage pipes guide the flow of resources below it. These systems are tucked underground and woven into networks out of sight. Utility code is visual language to notate this hidden infrastructure. \nParticipants will learn the colors and symbols of utility code before using the sight of each marking as a cue for simple movement or embodied observation. A visual score will be distributed for participants to refer to on the walk and to keep after the session. Utility Notation encourages participants to pay close attention to the surface of the sidewalk and to their own bodies as they move along it. \nAbout Ruby Waldo\nRuby Waldo is a pedestrian in Pittsburgh\, PA. Her work is concerned with the body and the built environment\, the landscape she lives in and the rhythms that shape it. Her projects range from newspapers and mail to walks and workshops that are informed by her experience as a caregiver and educator. In the studio\, Ruby is often gathering\, arranging\, or redistributing materials such as archival imagery\, architectural salvage\, and found choreography. She holds a BFA in Interdisciplinary Sculpture with a concentration in Social Practice & Sustainability from The Maryland Institute College of Art. In 2027\, she will graduate from the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism with her certification as a clinical herbalist. For now\, Ruby works in the\nchildren’s department of the public library. \nMeeting Location \nParticipants will meet at Westinghouse Park. \nWe ask that participants arrive by 9:45 AM so that there is time to check people in and to start the tour promptly at 10:00 AM. \nParking and Transportation\nStreet parking is available within the vicinity of Westinghouse Park. \nIf taking public transportation\, the closest Pittsburgh Regional Transit stop are: \n\nEast Busway and Homewood Station B\, serving routes P7\, P12\, P16\, P67\, P68\, P69\, P71\, P76\, and P78\nPenn Avenue and Murtland Street serving routes 67\, 69\, and 71C\nHomewood Avenue and Thomas Street serving route 74\n\nFor more information\, please visit the Pittsburgh Regional Transit website at: https://www.rideprt.org/. \nThere is a POGOH Bike Share station located at Tioga Street and N.
