"Sportsmanship Is..." by ACLD School StudentsBanner image photographs © 2010 Anne Fitzgerald

The Andy Warhol Museum’s The Art of Play is an exhibition of youth artwork on the importance of play, sports and physical fitness. Youth explored themes such as sportsmanship, teamwork, and the role of the sports celebrity in contemporary culture. The first part of The Art of Play is a juried exhibition of youth digital artwork. Youth from around the region participated. In addition, local animators, The Schmutz Company worked with after-school programs to create stop motion animations. The second part of the exhibition is a suite of prints created by students from Pittsburgh’s High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, which uses Sarah Heinz House athletic teams as their muse. The Warhol’s Eric Shiner, Milton Fine Curator of Art juried the exhibition.

The exhibition, presented in conjunction with the 2011 NHL Bridgestone Winter Classic and sponsored by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation, will be on view at 907 Penn Avenue on December 31, 2010 as part of First Night activities in Pittsburgh’s cultural district.

The Warhol would like to thank the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and the Sarah Heinz House.
