Sharing HIGHILIGHTS of The Alchemy of Christine CMC Bethea—my first solo show in a decade is storytelling adventure in nearly every medium. Showcased were my works in fiber, mosaic, and assemblage including a recreation of my 2024 Carnegie Museum of Art installation. Thanks to @mcardle.patrick , Leila Harvard and Brigette Bethea for their amazing video images and support as well as the gracious hosting of Meg @megwalshper and historic site accommodation through @pacusick1 at the John A. Hermann Memorial Art Museum in Bellevue, PA.

We are still riding the wave of gratitude for CSA Season 13!

A massive thank you to our incredible audiences, supporters, and the brilliant lead artists, casts, and creatives who reminded us why we love what we do. We are so incredibly proud to be right here on the North Side—providing a home for Pittsburgh's independent voices. 🖤

Take a look back at the magic: Birthday at Tiffany’s by @cmcbethea, Agnus Teaches Acting by @zannylairdz, @feduculis and @wowitstreasure, and GRAPPLING by @erin.kouwe. We also celebrated our first season of CSA Off The Page: There Goes The Bride by @noah_van_ess & @theonlycatch, Cosmic Microwave Background by Julia Fraser, and Gloria, Jean, and the Sexy Ghost Show by @mattdhenderson .

Imagine a DREAM in which a Pittsburgh councilwoman sang “Sweet Dreams”, the Mayor gave you a hug and your buds from every part of the arts were all there? Well it all happened @kstheater on Saturday at their annual House Party where EIA’s @cmcbethea popped thru to document some of the event’s finest moments! #ksttheater #coreyoconnor #cityofpittsburgh #visitpittsburgh #downtownpittsburgh by @cmcbethea
