by Highland Park Community Council 16 Sep '21

On *Tonight, September 16, at 7 pm on Zoom*, the HPCC Community Meeting will feature the two "Arts in the Park" artists selected to create installations for Highland Park: - *Marlana Adele Vassar: * Marlana Adele Vassar is a Pittsburgh artist exploring ways to share her art that will enhance the City. She has 15 years of experience across a variety of mediums and her current focus is on creating distinctive public art with a balance of style and substance. Her artistic philosophy is “art is everywhere, and the ordinary has the potential to be extraordinary.” Marlana's website is here: https://marlana.me/ and you can provide her feedback here: https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/art-parks/marlana-adele-vassar - *The Urban Conga: * The Urban Conga is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Brooklyn, NY. They are made up of a diverse group of creatives focused on sparking community activity and social interaction through open-ended play. They achieve this by putting the community first in the design process by hosting a series of participatory design workshops to develop multiple concepts for the artwork. The workshops arwill be focused on sparking a playful dialog around the past, present, and future of Highland Park. They will be starting this dialog at the next council meeting on Sept 16th and will be hosting a workshop at the park on Sept 18th (details coming soon). The Urban Conga's website is here: http://www.theurbanconga.com/ and you can provide them feedback here: https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/art-parks/urban-conga *You MUST Register in advance for this meeting by clicking this link <https://pitt.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMrceqgrjMiE9fp0FVrSgtgCcDl0hp_MYo2>.* In addition, on *Saturday, Sept 18th from 11 am-4 pm*, The Urban Conga will also be hosting a participatory workshop on-site to the left of the Highland Park Entry Garden. This will be an opportunity for people to stop in and share with us their thoughts about the past, present, and future of the park and community. Also, if anyone can't make it that day they can also leave feedback digitally to help with the process here: https://engage.pittsburghpa.gov/art-parks/urban-conga and the city is also in the process of making a Facebook event page as well that they will be sharing out. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

FREE: Twin sized Captain's Bed
by Stuart O Anderson 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Hello neighbors, We found this lovely bed on the list-serve a few months ago, but it's a little too high off the ground for our 3 year old. Hoping to pass it along to someone who can use it. See photos of a twin captains bed with 6 drawers and a headboard with shelving, plus mattress and bunk board. We do have a cat and dog in our home, but all the parts are clean and in good shape. Please email for address for a contactless pick up from our porch. Take care, Stuart
