Brew House Arts is piloting a new national artist residency program in partnership with The Roll Up CLT, which aims to increase representation and visibility of professional Black artists in the Pittsburgh region.

The inaugural 2023 resident is multi-disciplinary artist Seitu Jones. Artist and advocate Seitu Ken Jones has been tending the soil of community through art for more than 40 years. Throughout his career, he has harnessed the tools of visual art, infrastructure, and civic engagement to create work that links history to the present and honors the community’s assets — from its historic figures to natural resources to cultural traditions. In his public art and events, Jones pushes beyond traditional art spaces to reach people in the context of their lives and communities. He resides in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his partner the poet Soyini Guyton. Learn more at www.seitujonesstudio.com.

Join us for a public artist talk at the Brew House Gallery to hear from Seitu Jones about his practice, process, and his plans while visiting Pittsburgh.
