- Glass on glass mosaic
- "I have been working with stained glass for more than 25 years, and just got into glass on glass mosaics in early 2025. This piece is based on a photo I took while on a trip down the west coast from Washington State down to San Francisco, California. It captures the freedom and peace of the drive through the many beautiful sceneries."

- Biscoe House
Mary Ganska, Heinz College- Photography
- $100
- "Located at Whaler's Bay on Deception Island, the ruins of Biscoe House and other parts of the research station captivated me during my visit to the South Shetlands and Antarctica this past February. Two volcanic eruptions in 1967 and 1969 resulted in the abandonment of the station, but this was the main housing structure until that time. The fading red paint matched our red expedition parkas as we walked through the structures."
- How Does It Feel To Be Close To You?
Hawa Who, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
- Spoken Word Poetry (Presented as Digital Visual Art / Mixed Media)
- $600
- "This piece began as a spoken word poem exploring emotional intimacy, care, and the psychology of love. I translated that performance into a visual form — using digital collage to mirror the fragmentation, softness, and tension within the poem.
The work examines what it means to be truly close to someone — not just physically, but emotionally and psychologically. It questions how we've been taught to understand love, and how those teachings shape the way we give and receive it.
Through both language and imagery, I explore the space between being seen and fearing that visibility, and what it takes to choose a kind of love rooted in care, autonomy, and peace.
This is how I document my work — transforming spoken word into visual storytelling."

- July in Pittsburgh
Allaina Wagner, University Advancement
- Gouache and ink on watercolor paper
- $120
- "There's nothing like the yellow shine of Pittsburgh's bridges in the middle of July. This piece is inspired by a photo taken on the Roberto Clemente Bridge on the eve of Picklesburgh last year, before the swarm of gherkin-loving crowds took over the structure. While moving from building to building in the iconic skyline, I found it easy to get lost in the scale of each window, door, and detail. This artwork is a simple ode to our city that people so easily find themselves at home in, and I'm so glad to be one of them."
- Various Ceramic Pieces
Nikki Deckard, Residential Education- Pottery
- Various prices for various items
- "All of these items were thrown on the pottery wheel or hand-built. Some have also been hand-painted."
- Echoes of Joy
Debra Tobin, Robotics Institute
- Abstract pastel
- $200
- Dream House
James Tobin, S3D
- Digital photo collage
- $225
- "Dream House explores the unstable space between memory, architecture, and imagination. Built through layered digital photography and shifting translucent forms, the piece transforms an ordinary house into something dreamlike and psychologically charged. Saturated color, repetition, and distortion create a sense of movement, as if the structure exists between dimensions or within a fading recollection."
