4 3 60th Anniversary It s our 60 th Anniversary! The North Hills Art Center was founded in 1959 by Emily Karlen and Joan Milsom. There were only 20 members and meetings were held in the Karlen s Glenshaw home. Known as the Artists and Craftsmen s Guild, it became incorporated in 1961 as a nonprofit to provide arts education and enrichment in the North Hills. As the Guild grew, it moved to spaces in Shaler HS, local churches and the Northway Mall. Their annual art show was held at the North Park Skating Rink. Over the years, we have been fortunate to have the volunteer and community support to grow our founders vision and become the creative haven we enjoy today. Early on, Beaux Arts Balls were held with elaborate themes such as A Night on the Nile and Vikingland, to raise money for a home of our own. They were first held in 1963 at the Wildwood Golf Club on Sample Rd. and then the Royal Ridge Field Club in Franklin Park. Hite s Drug Store, on Mt. Royal Blvd., displayed art pieces in their store window that would then be auctioned off at these events. The Pittsburgh Foundation helped with a grant. A building, formerly owned by the White Heating Co., was purchased in early On May 16, 1969 the North Hills Art Center on Babcock Blvd. opened to the public with over 350 members! Fast forward to today, the Art Center continues to be a vibrant community asset. In addition to classes and workshops, regular gallery shows offer wonderful opportunities to view local art, meet the artists and enjoy live music and refreshments. The North Hills School District holds annual student art shows in our gallery in January. Local animal rescue groups benefit from our animal themed shows in March. Crisis Center North s annual Hear the Whispers and Roars art show raises awareness about domestic violence and is held in October. As funding permits, we donate backpacks filled with art supplies to local food banks for distribution to children who are unable to attend classes at the Art Center. Each month, our volunteers visit local nursing homes to paint with their residents. We are grateful to everyone for the support we have received and look forward to another 60 years. Thank you!
