It was refreshing to see GOOD art at FLUX. I was impressed with all of it and I think they put on a really good show. Most of the work appeared to come from the local community and African American subject matter was prevalent--a lot creativity, spirit, inspiration and heart. This was a breath of fresh air after the tepidness of the Pittsburgh Arts Festival. I didn't stay long enough to hear all the bands, but what I heard was very good. And, they had good beer--apparently a donation from the Church Brew Works.
