On Friday, January 23rd, the Cultural Trust held their 5th annual Gallery Crawl. Galleries, restaraunts, theatres and other event spaces in the Cultural District downtown opened their doors free to the public, filling their space with art, handmade goods for sale made by local artisans, shows by local musicians and DJs, free cocktails, free craft making sessions and much more! I spent the night out with my friends, capturing some of the amazing events the Gallery Crawl had to offer:

Of all the 25 or so spaces we visited, the Trust Arts Education Center Gallery was my personal favorite

The 5th Annual Gallery Crawl was my first Gallery Crawl here in Pittsburgh, but it was definitely a highlight of my school year! I had a blast with my friends and we were blown away by the incredible talent of our community! We can’t wait until the next crawl!
