Assemble

Such a great program!
Assemble is a cool community space for arts and technology in the heart of Garfield. Their mission is to invite people of all ages to engage their intrigue and creativity through hands on explorations of art and technology. Their programs include monthly openings during the Unblurred gallery crawls, as well as workshops, lectures and community activities, with a focus on providing quality creative programming for the children of the area.
They offer a ton of different programs including FREE weekly after school help with homework on Tuesdays and a weekly 2 hour technology/​craft program for kids in 6^th through 9^th grade on Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:30pm and Saturdays from 10am to 12pm that my daughter absolutely LOVES! If it wasn’t for the Unilocal Helps event I would have never found out about them.
Should you need further information about signing your child up please contact Julia Brown by email at
or by calling (724) 462‑4170.

Assemble is a welcome addition to the PGH art scene. In a really short time they’ve been able to make a name for themselves in the city, and fill a niche with their focus on interactive artwork. They have great events for both children and adults, and are constantly finding interesting ways to engage with the local community. They maintain a great presence in the Penn Ave Arts District, and they have also been really great in bolstering the artistic offerings during Unblurred.
Definitely worth checking out if you randomly find yourself in Garfield, or even if you have to make a special trip.
