Art exhibit

Join us at the second-ever art exhibit hosted in collaboration with 412 Youth Zone, a leading provider of community-based services local to the Pittsburgh area, and Noah S. Williams, a young abstract artist. See a variety of art made by young people in 412 Youth Zone’s Makerspace and by Noah in his studio ranging from paintings to other handcrafted pieces, and observe artwork supported by this year’s conference theme: From partnerships to ecosystems of care. This three-day event will provide conference attendees with the opportunity to browse unique, one-of-a-kind artwork from local artists and provide a chance to learn more about art as a form of whole-person care.

The art exhibit will take place on the Ballroom level of the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown from Wednesday, October 16, 2023 – Friday, October 18, 2024. An opportunity to meet artists and purchase artwork will be provided during select times.

More on The Makerspace at 412 Youth Zone

The Makerspace at Auberle’s 412 Youth Zone is a safe space for youth to explore artistic expression, learn new skills, and collaborate with their peers on exciting projects. 412 Youth Zone members have created upcycled projects, including lamps and sculptures, and utilized silk-screening and sublimation printing, created handbound journals, and designed handcrafted jewelry—just to name a few projects.

Additionally, youth are encouraged to take on projects of their own design using our extensive array of tools, materials, and supplies. The Youth Zone Makerspace is open daily Monday through Thursday.
