Tu B’Av: Celebration of Love w/ 412Step

In celebration of our current exhibition, Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough, and Tu B’Av, the Jewish holiday of love, Brew House Arts partners with 412Step for an evening of dancing, celebration, and art. Dayenu will be on view in the gallery, attendees are invited to participate in a potluck and bring a dish to share with one another. No partner or previous dance experience is necessary. Come dance with us! Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $0-$20. Attendees are encouraged to sign up in advance at Eventbrite.com. Additional tickets available at the door.

412Step strives to create a low-key and welcoming environment where all dance levels feel comfortable. Founded in the LGBTQA+ community, we encourage all dancers to experiment with the lead and follow role and to dance with anyone…and everyone!

Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough, is a solo exhibition by Pittsburgh fiber-artist Louise Silk. Dayenu is a career capstone exhibition featuring an all-new body of work being shown together for the first time. The exhibition features hand-sewn works, including art quilts, scrap quilts, flags, kaftans, portraits, and pillows, all made from repurposed fabrics. By working with both her own scraps and found textiles, Silk “brings together separate events and recollections that all contribute to a meaningful visual expression of my life.”

Louise Silk has been creating art quilts for over 50 years. She has exhibited throughout the US and has had seven solo exhibitions, including Louise Silk: A Patchwork Life, a career retrospective at the Heinz History Center in 2024. Silk lives and works in the South Side, and was recently included in our exhibition, Art of Pittsburgh’s South Side.

Dayenu: It Would Have Been Enough will be on view from July 16 to September 5, 2026. The exhibition will have expanded regular gallery hours: Wednesdays from 2-7, Thursdays from 2-7 pm, and Fridays and Saturdays from 11-4 pm. The gallery will also be open by appointment on Mondays and Tuesdays.
