Last Day's Cafe: Monthly Meet-and-Chat for Pittsburgh's Creatives
   
  Date: Thursday, July 31, 5:30 - 8:30 pm
  Place: New Hazlett Theater, 6 Allegheny Square, Northside
  Presenter: Co-presented by the New Hazlett Theater and the Pittsburgh Creativity Project
     
  How do artists and other creative entities use the Internet effectively and efficiently? What free or inexpensive web resources and tools are now widely available to the public and are put to good use by Pittsburgh's Creative Community? How can you exploit what they have already learned about conceptualizing and maintaining a web presence?

Join us for a "cyber-tour" of web sites built and/or utilized by artists and other creative individuals to get words, pictures and sounds out about what they are doing. For this hour-long multimedia presentation, Teresa Foley, the Pittsburgh Creativity Project Director, will be joined by individual artists, arts venue-operators, and a member of an anonymous artist collective. These guests will share comments and stories about the choices they made and concepts they considered in order to communicate with a public audience.
