"Show Up" Reception

Show Up Reception
Wednesday, December 4, 6-8 PM
FREE and open to the public

Join us as we celebrate the completion of Show Up, a photography exhibition by Pittsburgh-based artist Brendon J. Hawkins, with a reception in the lobby of our Main Building.

Using the principles of a marketing campaign, Hawkins created a story about embracing the right to be - anywhere. To Show Up is to make one's presence known, not just to be seen or heard, but also to participate.

Through a series of photographs, viewers follow Corrine, Mathias, Sovren, Sincere, Nathan and Amina as they explore the Mattress Factory.

Show Up was directed by Brendon J. Hawkins and produced by Sean Beauford, with styling by Mathias rushin and makeup by Tim Votaw.
