ModernFormations onf Gallery Gallivant tour

ModernFormations all that and a bag of chips

ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space is one of the galleries that I discovered during the Unblurred art walk on Penn Avenue and I immediately appreciated it's edgy artistic sensibilities. The atmosphere and the artwork has a New York city feel in da 'burgh setting.

This is one of several galleries that has been making this section of Penn Avenue a must to visit as well as changing the face of that area of Pittsburgh for the better. Check out more info about ModernFormations below.


ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space was founded in June of 2001, and since then, has been committed to contributing to the growing artistic culture of Pittsburgh, the Penn Avenue arts community, and to the surrounding neighborhoods.

ModernFormations Gallery and Performance Space is dedicated to representing the diverse artistic, musical, and dramatic talent of Pittsburgh. Whether it’s on the intimate stage, listening to live music, or artwork hung in the gallery space, the goal is to create an atmosphere conducive to bringing interaction and discussion about the arts. In order to meet this goal, and that of promoting art in Pittsburgh, ModernFormations will exhibit a diverse range of art mediums including, and not limited to, modern art, performance art, bands, plays, films, and literary readings. Cozy couches surrounded by purple walls make this a unique space in Pittsburgh to experience artwork.

ModernFormations will continue to give emerging artists, whose talent is greater than their opportunity to exhibit, a chance to show their work in Pittsburgh.
