To support and inspire artists to create submissions for the third annual Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh exhibit — themed this year around archives — the University Library System is holding an open house at Hillman Library from 3 to 7 p.m. Sept. 26.

Artists and community members from the University of Pittsburgh and beyond are invited to visit the library to see collections, learn about current exhibits, participate in creative activities at the library’s makerspaces, and see art from past Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh winners.

At the open house, you will be able to:

• View collections from the library’s Archives & Special Collections and Frick Fine Arts Library connected to themes of Pittsburgh artists, social justice, and how artists in the past have been inspired by libraries and archives.

• Hear gallery talks by the curators of the exhibit “We Humans at 70”: Educating Pittsburgh on Race in the 1950s, which shares the story of a historic, anti-racist initiative in Pittsburgh. Talks will start at 3:15, 4:15, 5:15 and 6:15 p.m.

• View other exhibits on poetry books, bias in the history of global mapmaking, horror films, and more.

• Make buttons in the library’s Open Lab.

• Try your hand at letterpress printmaking and engage in a collage activity inspired by the August Wilson Papers in the Text & conText Lab., which will be open until 6 p.m.

Light snacks will be served.
