On view: March 16th - May 25th, 2024
Gallery hours: Saturdays 12-5pm

Join CDCP and WCDC for our third collaborative show of the season, featuring new work by artist Lizzee Solomon.

I make art that enlivens and captures the imagination. Using a unique blend of mixed media techniques, I create bold portraits of a wide range of subjects, both real and imagined. The vibrant color palette I use is inspired by my experience woodcarving in rural Oaxaca, Mexico. There, I learned how to transform copal tree chunks into alebrijes - brilliantly colored sculptures of wild creatures.

My studio practice is meticulous and tedious at times, fueled by my compulsion to complete visual puzzles, and the desire to work with my hands doing small tasks. I choose to work this way for its unexpected meditative qualities. I am entranced by every nuance of my subjects, creating shapes out of shadows, patterns out of pores, and exaggerating distinctive features.

Each work begins as a drawing, resembling a puzzle. After software processing, I use a CNC laser cutter to fabricate the components using colorful plastic, birch plywood, and adhesive vinyl. After assembling the parts, the whole semi-nightmarish portrait emerges with satisfying textures and juicy colors. Working this way allows me to create artwork for a wider range of collectors. I am a strong believer in art that is accessible, not out-of-reach.

About Lizzee:

Lizzee Solomon was born in New York, NY, and grew up in suburban Chicago, IL. She earned a BFA in Studio Art and Hispanic Studies at Carnegie Mellon University in 2011. Lizzee is based in Pittsburgh and participates in group and solo exhibitions as an artist and curator in the region. In addition to her studio practice, Lizzee is a commercial artist, working with businesses to elevate their products and brands using a combination of new and traditional techniques. Lizzee also has over fifteen years of professional teaching experience, having taught at the Carnegie Museum of Art, TechShop, and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. She is currently an instructor and Board Member at Protohaven in Wilkinsburg.

with ourselves, with each other
an in-progress showing created and performed by Maree ReMalia

Join Hatch Arts Collective and Casey Droege Cultural Production for an in-progress showing of with ourselves, with each other, a solo performance by Maree ReMalia.

with ourselves, with each other explores how grief can be a collective experience. Using a karaoke mic and movement as her primary performance vehicle, choreographer and performer Maree ReMalia explores how a solo can be more than a solo and become a gathering, a chorus, and a communal remembrance.

While living through the wake of her father’s death and the pandemic, ReMalia ties our individual lives to the ever-burgeoning global and political strife.  This performance aims to be a balm for the heart and a container for grief. It is an opening for joy, all while welcoming desire, acknowledging rage, and insisting on love.

As we hold our persistence and tenacity along with our weariness and imperfections, ReMalia asks: what stories do we want to voice? What words feel meaningful? Where do we feel grief in our bodies and how does it want to move?

The audience is invited to participate or witness as we all live alongside one another in confusion, sorrow, laughter, and care.

Artist Reception: Saturday, December 9th, 12:00pm-3:00pm

On view: December 9th, 2023 - February 24th, 2024
Gallery hours: Saturdays 12-5pm

Black women exist within an unrelenting ecosystem built to convince us that we are insufficient. To persevere, counternarratives that remind us of our humanity are crucial. As a painter and poet, my work exists as a safe harbor for Black women and girls, centering themes such as mental health, systemic oppression, joy, liberatory visions, and power.


I practice mainly in acrylic media but also engage in digital painting, tufting, and laser cutting. What excites me most is ideating new ways to showcase aspects of Black feminine identity outside of the limiting bounds and tropes we often see ourselves defined within; I can depict nudity in ways that are not inherently sexual, beauty in ways not restricted by Eurocentric standards and a deep and emotional personhood that can not be bypassed or erased.


I am most influenced in practice and philosophy by the works of Claudia Rankine, Audre Lorde, Kehinde Wiley, Romare Bearden, Octavia Butler, and Kerry James Marshall. The questions I want to be answered in my work are: what is challenged when Black women are centered unapologetically; and what effect do the societies we live in have on Black women’s capacity for joy, love, peace, and processing trauma?

What is the Art Handler Collaborative?

The AHC is a paid art handling training program and an extension of The Art Supply Co., the art consulting branch of Casey Droege Cultural Productions. Over a period of six months, two art handler apprentices will engage our projects, clients, and select VACE partner organizations through a series of professional development sessions, site visits, and on-the-job training. Apprentices will explore art handling standards, connect with local creatives, and develop skills that they may apply to future endeavors. Apprentices will be guided by two experienced art handlers through hands-on work for local arts organization partners and independent clients.

What is required of an Art Handling Collaborative Apprentice?

AHC Apprentices are required to complete an unpaid orientation training and then a minimum of 50 hours of paid art installation training and services within a 6-month period to be granted official certification from the program. At completion of the program, Apprentices would earn a bonus stipend and receive recommendation for future opportunities. The basic breakdown of the hours are as follows:

  • Attend one 3-hour long orientation for initial training (unpaid)

  • Spend 3 hours with program leads visiting VACE galleries (unpaid)

  • Work with our supervision on varied job sites to complete 50 hours of art installation (paid at $20/hr)

What does an Art Handling Apprentice receive?

  • On-the-job experience at a rate of $20 per hour

  • Access to art installation practices at various local cultural organizations and private clients

  • Network of dedicated visual arts professionals

  • Information on tools, best practices, big picture thinking, and issues in our field

What are we looking for in an Art Handling Collaborative Apprentice?

While anyone can apply to become an AHC Apprentice, we are looking for two emerging professionals with a passion for the arts, a desire to develop technical skills, and an interest in connecting with local creatives. Ideal candidates will have a strong interest in working in the arts and show an eagerness to learn and work as part of a team. We are seeking potential apprentices from all backgrounds, and we strongly encourage individuals who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, Neurodiverse, or Disabled to apply. Potential fellows can be emerging artists, arts administrators, cultural workers who are early in their arts, culture, and/or community organizing career. AHC Apprentices should be available for all scheduled orientation events, have a flexible schedule, and be based in the Pittsburgh region.

Due to the physical nature of the job, AHC Apprentices may be required to stand for long periods, stoop, work with hands above shoulder level, lift a minimum of 25 pounds, and climb and work on a ladder.

  Highly competitive applicants will show:

  • Evidence of a commitment to cultivating personal and professional skills

  • A demonstrated interest in cultivating a healthier, more sustainable, more inclusive arts ecosystem for Pittsburgh.
