Shadyside on Walnut in Pittsburgh, PA

Rated as one of the top 100 art shows in Sunshine Artist Magazine

Please Note: This show is now a 2-day show! We moved from stifling August heat, placed this great show in September, and made it a 2-days. This gives us cooler weather and a busier time, as everyone is in town. The show is located on Walnut Street which is in a popular downtown shopping district. This seven-block area draws upscale shoppers from all over Pittsburgh and the suburbs.

Venue: Outdoors on Walnut St between South Aiken Avenue & South Negley Avenue

Parking: Available for RVs and standard size vehicles

Show Hours: Saturday 10am-9:30pm & Sunday 10am-5pm Set-Up: Begins at 5am, Saturday morning

Lighting is NOT provided, You MUST bring your own

Directions	From the east: Exit 6 (Monroeville). Get on 376 west towards Pittsburgh. It is the first exit after the Squirrel Hill Tunnels (Exit 8 - Squirrel Hill) stay in the right lane going through the tunnel, while exiting follow the signs to Squirrel Hill. At the first light take a left onto Murray Avenue. Go straight on Murray Avenue until it ends. Take a left onto Wilkens. Take a right at the first light onto South Negley. There is a big downhill grade at the intersection to 5th (it might be better for large vehicles pulling trailers to take the exit 48 directions coming from the west) Cross 5th Avenue, Walnut Street is three blocks up and take a left one block to Ivy Street which is the end of the show site. From the west: Exit the Pa. Turnpike at exit 48 (Harmerville) Bare right coming off the turnpike and follow that road to the light, just past Giant Eagle Supermarket and Ames Dept Store. Take a right to get to Route 28 South towards Pittsburgh (it also says route 910) (28 is right lane and 910 is left lane). Exit route 28 at the Highland Park Bridge. Stay in the left lane. Follow it around to the first light at Washington Blvd. Take a right and stay straight on Washington Blvd. It will eventually turn into 5th Ave. when it enters Shadyside. Continue on 5th Ave until between South Negly and South Aiken. The show will run between those two streets about 3 blocks to the right. Walnut Street runs parallel to 5th Avenue.
Exhibitor Parking	RV & Overnighter Parking: Parking for RV s and OVERSIZED VEHICLES AND TRAILERS will be at the Morewood parking lot across from Carnegie Mellon University. Very Important: Please do not dump any waste in the parking lot. Due to a situation that occurred last year they will now be requesting a $50 deposit that will be refunded upon you exit. Please keep your area as clean as possible throughout the weekend. Please do not attempt to negotiate with the attendant, as they will simply turn you away and it will jeopardize the use of the lot for future shows. As you will see parking in this area is limited. Remember the larger your rig is the more spaces you will need to rent daily. Space is limited and is on a first come first serve basis. Shuttle Service will be running throughout the 3 day weekend. Fees: Parking fee is $10.00 per space daily. You must detach your trailer from your vehicle and pay for as many spaces as your rig will require. If you take up 3 spaces your price will be $30.00 daily, etc. You must go to the office, which is located in the East Campus Garage on Forbes Avenue next to Gesling Stadium (football field). The hours of operation are M-F 8am to 5pm. and they will then give you a parking pass for the duration of your stay. Your tag number will be taken by the campus police and they will turn this information into the office with the date of your arrival. Please advise the office how long you intend to stay and you will be charged accordingly. Please note the lot is still used by employees on Friday and we were advised that it does fill up by 8 am on Friday, so you will want to arrive Thursday evening or first thing on Friday, otherwise you may find yourself without a space. Directions to the Carnegie Mellon Parking Lots: From the Show Site: Turn left of S. Aiken and proceed to Ellsworth (the 2nd traffic light) and make a left. Go to Morewood (2nd traffic light) and turn left. Go to Forbes Avenue (2nd traffic light) and the Morewood-Forbes parking Lot is on the right. (Across from Carnegie Mellon University Center Circle). RV & Overnighter Etiquette: No outdoor cooking, no dumping of any kind, no parking until after 6 p.m. Thursday, and absolutely no Sunday night overnight parking. These rules will be strictly adhered to. Because parking space is at a premium, all trailers should be detached from your vehicles and placed in a parking stall. All R.V.'s must be stacked into a parking spot as tightly as possible. (Our properties do not want R.V's that are loosely packed across 5-6 parking spots, taking up all the room. Daytime Parking: Since School is back in session we can not get the Liberty School lot we have used in previous years for Friday. Fridays Parking will be at Reizenstein Middle School. Parking will be in the back lot and the field by the basketball court. This is for Friday only!! You will be able to park there as soon as you are done setting up on Friday Morning and must be out by 10 pm that night. Directions to the Reizenstein School from show site. Take Walnut Street East to Denniston St. and make a left. The school will be just after Aurilea Street. Saturday and Sundays parking will be back at the Liberty school (same as last year). These lots will be available for parking from 8 AM 10 PM on Saturday and 8 AM 8 PM on Sunday. Directions to the Liberty School: Negley North to Ellsworth turn left go 1 block then left on Ivy go about 100 feet on right side. Daytime Parking will be free to the artists.
