Buy upcycled art and clothing and learn something new from Offroute Art featured artists

Circuit: plug into the circular economy

Circuit is a monthly event where you can connect with small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and creatives that are advancing Pittsburgh’s circular economy.

We have an extra-special Circuit takeover featuring artists with Offroute Art, a local nonprofit supporting emerging visual artists ages 16-24. Shop upcycled art and clothing, join a live demo, and write a free postcard.

Vibrantly Earthy (@vibrantly_earthy) transforms the everyday into art by creating collages on upcycled vinyls and unique embroidery pieces on canvases. Every item is a statement—colorful, intentional, and full of character. These custom pieces are created to be as unique as the customer.

DEMO 11:30AM: Create your own custom vinyl record piece. Use provided base designs and to create a saying from cut-up recycled letters, then Vibrantly Earthy sets the design in place.

Fang Knife (@fangknife) upcycles sclothing through quilting, patchwork, embroidery, and printing. All the fabrics they use are second hand and recycled to be fit to wear again.

DEMO 12:00PM: They'll demo their digital embroidery machine to create simple designs using software (Processing and the Pembroider library with a Husquavarna Viking Designer Jade 35 model).

BYO laptop to learn how to install process on your own device, or use provided sample templates.

Redd-Up Pgh will also be joining us to help you declutter and give unwanted items a new life.

Lastly, we will have exclusive in-store deals, and if you buy a piece of Offroute Art you get 20% off your entire purchase!

So come buy some one-of-a-kind art and clothing, learn something new, and help keep valuable resources in reuse!
