黑料不打烊

Frustrated by the limited exhibition opportunities for abstract work at the time, these strong talented professional artists formed the group as a protest. Subsequently, The Abstract Group added numerous members, and became one of the founding guilds of the Arts and Crafts Center of Pittsburgh, now Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. In 1969, the name of the group was changed to Group A. This name change reflected the diverse working styles of the artists in the group, many of whom were not abstractionists.

Today, as an association of artists, Group A provides exhibition opportunities for its members and fosters an active dialogue about visual art, art concepts and practices. Historically Group A has always been a relatively small group of around 80 artists, allowing for more interaction and communication among its members. New members are added to Group A by member invitation. Current members work in a wide variety of styles and media and include a varied cross section of philosophies, ages and professional pursuits. Group A continues to be an affiliated guild of the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts.
