In the finest documentary tradition, Pittsburgh's Melissa Farlow and Randy Olson have chronicled the world as long-time contributors to National Geographic magazine. This is the award-winning couple's first major exhibition and features 50 large-scale color images from assignments published between 2003 and 2009.

Melissa Farlow was a staff photographer at the Pittsburgh Press and the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times in Kentucky before working as a freelancer. While in Louisville, she was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of desegregation in the public schools. Randy Olson was named the Magazine Photographer Of The Year for 2003 and Newspaper Photographer Of The Year in 1992 --- one of only two photographers to win the title in both categories.

An evening of bluegrass and roots music from two seminal artists.

Greensky Bluegrass is earning recognition nationwide as a growing force in acoustic roots music. Performing at festivals, theaters and clubs all over the US, their rare traditional sound is piquing the interests of not only bluegrass enthusiasts, but lovers of music of all genres. It is their unique "fusion of tradition and enthusiasm for improvisation" that has come to define the band's creative and tangible compositional style.

Todd Sheaffer has been the frontman, singer, and songwriter for Railroad Earth since the band's inception in 2001. He and his band have traversed musical territory as diverse as bluegrass, rockabilly, blues and folk, all driven by Sheaffer's familiar, yet unique, compositions.
