Second Annual Homegrown Event
Join the Art Institute of Pittsburgh on Thursday, July 29th 2010 for the second-annual Homegrown event. It’s part rummage sale, part farmers’ market, part outdoor concert and part educational event.
The public is very much welcome, and invited to hear about local sustainable initiatives that explore “how we eat, how we live, how we buy, and how we can change into a much stronger, more sustainable Pittsburgh.”
The rummage sale begins at 9:00 a.m. and goes until 2:00 p.m. Proceeds will be donated to student scholarships.  In addition, educational workshops and booths hosted by local green businesses and nonprofit organizations, plus the farmers’ market, will be running all day.
A local band will take the stage about 5:00 p.m., along with free food (thanks to the Art Institute’s Culinary Club and Slow Foods chapter) and a free raffle for an “Ecocents” booklet, which is a “guide to everything green” in Pittsburgh.
