Stop the endless scroll and reclaim your creativity!
Whether you haven’t made anything in years or you’ve just been stuck in “scroll mode,” Art/Life Unlimited is a dynamic six-week course designed to help you bring more creativity into your daily life, in any area you wish-- from developing a steady art practice to making gorgeous Excel sheets to painting your bathroom to naming your Spotify playlists.
Through artist mini-demos, immersive exercises and lively discussion, you’ll see the world — and yourself — with fresh eyes. What colors light you up? What symbols keep appearing in your daydreams? What might you want to build, to express, to make happen? This is not about being an artist (though you might find out you are one). It’s about waking up your senses, breaking out of passive consumption, and realizing you’re allowed to shape your world — one small act of creation at a time.

Build Me a Voice: The Grit & Soul of Ukrainian Folklore
a fundraising event supporting RealTime's upcoming work: there is a blue that only children see
Did you know that Pittsburgh is home to the fifth largest population of Ukrainian-Americans in the country? Our city is indelibly bound to Ukraine— by history, by blood, and by culture. Through this event, audiences joined us to strengthen this bond through storytelling and music, making new, shared folklore for our times, alongside native Ukrainians. And the event helped us at RealTime in our endeavor to make new work that connects Pittsburgh to its own roots-- and to our friends across the world.
