I have long admired the art writing and advocacy of Emma Riva, Petrichor’s founder and editor-in-chief. After reading this exhibit review, you’re going to want to follow Petrichor and everything Emma does! Click below…

A little more from Emma about Pittsburgh’s art scene and her place in it:

“I do know one thing, whether Pittsburgh is in the Midwest, Appalachia, or the Mid-Atlantic, Pittsburgh is home. And something great is happening here.  My writing background is in the novel, and I’ve struggled with whether being an art critic and being an author are mutually exclusive. But maybe I was never meant to tell stories by myself. This magazine is the novel of our art scene here in Pittsburgh. I want us all to create it together.”
