Ketchup City Creative is definitely a gem in Pittsburgh! I used this venue for my art exhibit. The owners, Nanci and Christian are fantastic. I never had an exhibit before this one, but they generally know what you need and are right there to help out where needed, without taking over your show. They have a wonderful system for hanging pictures (framed or canvas). I managed to squeeze in about 70 pieces of varying sizes (from [11 x 14"] to [24 x 48"]). It was a tight fit, but it looked awesome. You could easily look amazing in this space even if you have only 10 or 20 pieces, depending on the sizes. I grouped the paintings into sections, and Nanci had the entire show hung in less than an hour! (It's easy to move pieces around if you need to - in seconds or minutes, which I did a couple times). The lighting is terrific. In addition to the canvas art, I was also able to display two hand-painted full length wedding gowns (with trains) in the middle of the floor as well as a swirl painted guitar on a guitar stand. Their prices are very reasonable for newbie artists who are just getting started, and they also promote to their regular patrons without charging extra. They have tables and chairs right there on site, which is also very helpful. The place is clean and very well maintained. Bravo to Nanci and Christian for this amazing place!
