This weekend is all about learning new things. Learn about some of the breweries in just outside of Pittsburgh at Greensburg Craft Beer Week. Artist & illustrator Lisa Cogdon will be in town for an artist talk on Friday and we hope you will join us for the very first Creative Mornings @ Night on Monday.

Art is always free in Greensburg // Did you know that admission to The Westmoreland Museum of Art is always free? A reminder that this weekend is the end of Greensburg Craft Beer Week. Stop by the museum and then head to one of the many breweries in Greensburg. Take a peek at Fury Brewing before you go.

Trading coffee for cocktails // We’ve teamed up with the folks at Creative Mornings to bring you a nighttime take on their monthly lecture series. Join us on Monday, September 30, for Creative Mornings @ Night for an evening of learning and drinks. We’ve got an all-star lineup of guests, including author Damon Young and artist Dee Briggs, who will lead discussions on the topic of justice & muse.
