Human Rights Day Celebration
Shadow Lounge & Ava Lounge

Experience a night of social awareness, live music and drinks in order to celebrate the progress of human rights in the world, rather than mourning the abuses and negative aspects that are all too often focused upon.

This evening will also highlight the important work that local community organizations are doing to educate the Pittsburgh community and promote human rights around the world.
This event is orgnazied by Global Solutions Pittsburgh, an educational organization that envisions a future in which nations work together to abolish war, protect our rights and freedoms, and solve the problems facing humanity that no nation can solve alone. For more information, (412) 471-7852.

Inspired by the holiday TV special, the store's classic windows are decorated with scenes about a child's faith.
The 2009 TV special was a retelling of a popular Christmas story of an 1897 editorial in the New York Sun newspaper answering little Virginia O'Hanlon's question: is there a Santa Claus?
With sets and characters made entirely of paper cut both by hand and
laser, the fusion of artistry and technology come together to tell an
inspiring tale of the holiday season in six new magical window displays.
