London’s South Bank brightened up yesterday following the launch of a new pop-up art exhibition, Pittsburgh Art on the Bank. The exhibition – curated by VisitPITTSBURGH, in collaboration with Greater Pittsburgh Art Council and Arts and Culture at Pittsburgh International Airport – brings together 12 works of art from well-known and emerging Pittsburgh-based artists in a multi-disciplinary showcase.

The week-long exhibit will run until Sunday 9 June and throughout the exhibition, visitors will also have the opportunity to win a five-night trip for two to Pittsburgh and admission to a selection of the city’s top museums with British Airways. To enter, visitors must share a selfie with their favourite piece of art on Instagram using the bespoke hashtag #PITartonthebank.

Throughout the week, the exhibition will also host two interactive events, including a Q&A with Donald G. Warhola – nephew of Andy Warhol, who was born and raised in Pittsburgh – in addition to a series of silk-screen printing sessions this weekend. As Andy Warhol may have been one of the most famous and well-liked artists during his time and even to this day, his nephew may have some fascinating and insightful information about the life and the work of the artist himself, before moving on to the next part of the day. The screen printing session will show people how to use printers, like the Houston screen printers, and allow anyone to create their own designs and get a feel for the technique. Both activities are free and open to the public; all ages welcome.

The Q&A session with Donald G. Warhola will take place on Wednesday 5 June between 1-2pm in the Screening Room at Sea Containers London, a short walk from the exhibition. Spaces to the Q&A are limited, so free tickets need to be secured in advance here.

Silk-screen printing sessions will be available on 8 and 9 June, from 11am-2pm and 4-7pm on Saturday and 12-4pm on Sunday. Ticket holders will have the chance to explore Andy Warhol’s signature technique and take away an iconic print on a complimentary tote bag. Free tickets can be booked here.
