Art is suffusing this weekend's All-Star Game festivities, from Pittsburgh artist Burton Morris's official game logos to the public art murals going up citywide. The city's cultural institutions also are getting into the game, with a host of baseball-related activities across the week.

They include art openings, concerts and films, many of them within walking distance of PNC Park and Downtown hotels. Many of the activities are free, and portions of proceeds from two baseball-themed musical events will go to charities.

Those who don't want to leave the house can also get into the swing of things with All-Star related television programming.
