Four years ago - Christine Frechard - a doctoral candidate from University of Paris - that is Paris, France not Paris, Texas - who came to finish her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and decided to stay longer - opened a new, shick, slick and cozy art gallery which hosts other "artsy" events - as well. Last night's opening reception for Ann Brewer - a local artist who paints impressive, large, color-bold paintings - turned out to be a fabulous event. All the great food and drinks - notwithstanding - the Sat. Jan. 11 - 2014 - 5 pm till 7 pm - opening attracted a lot of diverse Pittsburghers - some from Squirrel Hill - some from other parts of the city.
A little, ten-year-old art patron who wore an adorable, dark colored, formal suit with the bow tie in place - looked very cute and was well-behaved which the ten-year-olds not always do. He was visibly interested in some primitive art pieces featured prominently in Christine's gallery. Her selection of African masks looks impressive - especially - considering the moderate prices.
Long story - short - in a nutshell. You need to visit Squirrel Hill's new gallery at 5871 Forbes Ave - Pittsburgh, Pa 15217.
Have a great weekend - everybody and look for more announcements of super cultural and fun events of all kinds happening in the gallery!!!
An important note: Christine Frechard has - subsequently - closed her gallery - and the address indicated above - currently - as of 2025 - is rented to a dress shop.
