Arts Excursions Unlimited was the result of a year long residency at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh – Hazelwood under the Office of Public Art’s Artist in the Public Realm Residency program. Artist Edith Abeyta worked with Hazelwood residents to develop a creative project based on a year’s worth of one on one conversations, group discussions, art activities, and numerous meetings. AEU has grown to include the Satellite Studio, a maker space in Hazelwood that provides residents open studio time and coordinated projects, and the United Hazelwood Design Team, who plan and connect with neighborhood beautification opportunities.
