Westmoreland Cultural Trust and the Incubator for the Arts officially launched the interactive public art project “Art in the Alley” on Thursday, April 12, 2018. The alley initiative includes vibrant colors and original works by Incubator for the Arts and local artists.
These original culturally encompassing pieces are installed and featured on the alley side of the Union Trust Building facing The Palace Theatre’s S&T Bank Courtyard and will soon launch various pop-up exhibits tied to the TGIS summer concert series. The project creates an additional destination spot in Greensburg, improves and enhances the artistic climate of the community, and adds color to the local landscape in the growing downtown cultural district, all the while giving local artists exposure and a new audience for their work.
Learn about Westmoreland Cultural Trust’s new art initiative, WINGS ACROSS WESTMORELAND, bringing art and awareness to cities across the county. Locations all over Westmoreland County will be receiving their own pair of wings (similar to the ones in the alley) with imagery that makes each town special. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE

One of my favorite memories is from the spring of 2018- thecensoredartist and I embarked on a mural-painting adventure during downtown Greensburg’s Arts Walk. We watched the town light up with zeal as people emerged from winter’s hibernation, welcoming the sunshine and celebrating the arts. Painting felt like a dance, and on concrete walls we planted bold flowers in candy-coated, vibrant hues. I cherished and savored every second of that day. I was set to begin chemotherapy just five days later and wore a large scarf to hide the bandages and soreness from my port insertion that happened a day prior. I had told very few at that point in time, perhaps in fear of being a burden, perhaps in fear of disrupting the normalcy that had felt destined to be extinguished, and perhaps because I knew that in accepting a new reality, I would be forced to part with a version of myself who I had just begun to learn to love. ...but as we painted, none of what was to come seemed to matter. I felt alive. I felt 26, unsinkable, and so connected to our community… protected by friendship and love and the power of expression. It’s funny to see images of “past Stacey” preparing for an unknown that “current Stacey” has experienced and now reflects on through memories. The highs. The lows. I celebrated a milestone this week- my implanted port that was used to deliver chemo was removed on Wednesday. The nurses in interventional radiology surprised me in the recovery room with a gorgeous slice of celebratory cake… adorned with sprinkles in the same vibrant hues as the garden that Sarah and I painted. I am forever touched by every act of kindness and love I`ve been fortunate enough to have received - from the art community, the medical community, my Macy`s family, my parents, my dear friends, other survivors who have shared their knowledge and insight... You are all vibrant flowers. And I will do everything I can to pay it forward. #hodgkinslymphoma #survivor #portremoval #portremovalday #wctsartinthealley #wctartinthealley #exploregreensburg #downtowngreensburgpa #pittsburghartist #surrealpainter #mural #streetart #floralart #floralpainting #floralmural #gratitude #thankyou...

There’s something missing from this picture! ... YOU! Take flight into the history of towns all around Westmoreland County with Wings Across Westmoreland. You can find wings in Greensburg (pictured), Jeannette, Ligonier, Overly’s Country Christmas and more to come!! Each set of wings highlights what makes these places special while tying the county together in the theme of the artwork by @artboy_art and @riley_mahoney15
For this #TBT, we’re going all the way back to the start of this Art in the Alley piece. Swipe to see!
The Pottery Playhouse mosaic was created with the help of the community at Artswalk 2018, and can be found sparkling on the side of The Palace Theatre today.
