This special community exhibit consists of all original art work completed during the Stand Up Now Tour 2007 highlighting the communities of Homewood, Beltzhoover, St. Clair Village, East Liberty, Manchester Field, Braddock, Rankin, Wilkinsburg, Carrick, and the Hill District. There will be complimentary food, drink, live dee jay and Band performances with other special accents that include: rhyme, drum, song, spoken word poetry, and new release book readings by local authors during exhibit.
