In its new exhibition, “芸[Gei]: The Beauty of Ephemeral and Eternal”, Contemporary Craft invites viewers to explore the captivating duality between the beauty of Ikebana – traditional Japanese flower arrangement – and the eternal nature of well-crafted objects. Four artists engage with members of Sogetsu Ikebana Pittsburgh, sparking contemplation of time, materiality, and heritage. This dialogue illuminates profound connections in Japanese culture that are woven throughout these art forms, harmonizing impermanence and eternity in Japan’s cultural tapestry - bridging past, present, and future. Featured artists include Tadao Arimoto, Carol Kumata, Miwa Neishi, and Yoko Sekino-Bové.

The gallery is open Monday – Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Courtesy. Integrity. Perseverance. Self-Control. Indomitable Spirit.

These are the five tenets of the dynamic, Korean martial art of Taekwondo. With origins as a defensive practice, Taekwondo is a discipline that focuses on unity between the body and mind, encouraging the development of spiritual, mental, and physical techniques. This January, Jazz musician and Taekwondo practitioner Jason Kush returns to City of Asylum to share a preview of his forthcoming album Tenets, a tribute to the practice of Taekwondo. The six-track album of Jason’s original compositions will showcase songs that correspond with each tenet, reimagining the discipline through jazz interpretations that have been years in the making. Tenets will be released by MCG Jazz in the spring of 2025.
