​More about Dinner Bell Mag:

​Dinner Bell Magazine is a (weird) food writing publication. It serves as a creative space for anyone to experiment with how they write about food. Dinner Bell Mag uses the theme of food loosely, acknowledging that stories about food are perhaps not about food at all. They publish stories about food that exist outside of the traditional food writing framework. 

 Dinner Bell Mag strives to highlight work from BIPOC, queer, emerging, and rural contributors. They are an organization founded by white queer people, and operate with anti-racist values. They believe that writing about food can be an expansive, inclusive, and ultimately therapeutic practice.

More about Caldwell:

Caldwell grew up white and socialized female in the American south (North Carolina), and landed in Pittsburgh after bouncing around the US for a bit.  Documentary photography of queer communities in these various locations occupied 15ish years of its life, but more recently Caldwell has turned to beadwork as a primary artistic outlet.  Caldwell is self-taught in the area of the arts,  but their degree in Women's Studies (later Gender Studies) and subsequent learning influences almost all aspects of their art practice.   Other major influences are a deep love of color, assorted mental health struggles, and an internal momentum to try new things.  And, of course, the desire for loads of money almost all artists have thrown at them regularly.  Other fun facts: Caldwell is queer and gender queer as all get out, is great at finding four leaf clovers, is passionate about cheese, and was included in an illustration in Highlights magazine (as an adult).  It currently lives in Lawrenceville with two large black and white dogs Marvin and Valentine.

Coming up on Thursday, March 25th is our Tiny Talk featuring artist Deanna Mance! We're looking forward to talking with Deanna and hearing about her work and process as an artist.

More about Deanna:

​

Deanna Mance is a self taught artist based in Pittsburgh, Pa. Working predominantly with ink and gouache on paper, her work explores the interplay of the conscious and unconscious and the relationship between nature and human experience. Her detailed drawings contain geometric motifs organically arranged, including imagery symbolic of family-based faith and heirlooms, ancestral history, transmutation of death and rebirth, and personal relationship to ritual and spirituality. Using spontaneous mark-making and freehand drawing techniques, her compositions form without inhibition or premeditation. Through this approach, she embraces the unpredictable qualities and uncertain outcomes of the work. 

Mance’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums including The Carnegie Museum of Art, The State Museum of Pennsylvania, Bankside Gallery in London and the Pittsburgh International Airport. In 2016 she created Pittsburgh’s first asphalt mural, City Composition, on Strawberry Way. The mural was the recipient of “Best Street Transformation, People’s Choice” from Streetsblog, USA. 

Coming up on Friday, March 12th is our Tiny Talk featuring artist Shori Sims! Join us for a short talk with Shori and on her work and process as an artist.

More about Shori:
​
Shori Sims was born in 1999 in Baltimore, Maryland and now works in Pittsburgh, PA attending Carnegie Mellon University. She is currently pursuing her BFA with a minor in Africana Studies.

An interdisiplinary artist, Shori finds herself grounded in representation. Essential themes of her work include the black female body as a site of resistance, African American identity, and the symbolic language shared amongst Black womxn/queers: especially as propagated through online space. Shori is fascinated by the possibilities found within alternate universes and liminal space: both through and beyond the body. References in Shori’s work include shoujo anime, beauty-supply stores, bodegas and gas-stations, and the aesthetics of pornography: combining to form an autobiography of her girlhood experience.
