SUMMARY:Play in peace
DESCRIPTION:Join the Office for Public Art (OPA) in celebrating World Peace Day and welcoming Little Amal to Pittsburgh. \nOPA commissioned Pittsburgh Creative Corps artist Cheryl Capezzuti to design one of five distinct events that will welcome Little Amal to Pittsburgh. Capezzuti worked with various local partners to create an event that will take place on the North Shore Riverfront Park’s Great Lawn on Thursday\, September 21\, 2023 at noon. \nAmal is drawn to a group of children who have gathered on the Great Lawn on the North Shore to celebrate World Peace Day. Under the gaze of Mister Rogers\, Amal finds a warm welcome where she thought she didn’t belong. \nAbout Cheryl Capezzuti\nCheryl Capezzuti has been making giant puppets and community-interactive public art experiences in Pittsburgh for more than 25 years. She is best known for the artist-made\, people-powered First Night Pittsburgh Parade which features about 300 giant puppets\, puppet-mobiles\, musicians\, pedicab puppets\, and over 400 volunteers. Capezzuti has also been an Artist-in-Residence at the Pittsburgh International Airport\, where she made parading puppets out of travelers’ discards\, and she’s been commissioned by the City of Pittsburgh to tell its history using giant puppets for the Bicentennial Parade. She teaches at Falk Laboratory School at the University of Pittsburgh where her Giant Puppet Dance Club may be the most unexpected student program. Between parades\, her puppets are housed at the Braddock Carnegie Free Library\, one of Andrew Carnegie’s first libraries\, and can be checked out by anyone with a library card for events\, celebrations and just for fun. She is joined for this production by her long-time collaborator Kellee Van Aken\, a writer\, director and Dean of the School of the Visual Arts and Theater at Seton Hill University. \nLearn more at www.puppetsforpittsburgh.com. \nDirections and Parking Information\nThe Great Lawn\, North Shore Riverfront Park is located between the Carnegie Science Center and Stage AE.
