Mission Statement
Most Wanted Fine Art is dedicated to being a growing
forum for the advancement of underground fine art and music in Pittsburgh. In conjunction with J&J Sauer Trailer Sales, Most Wanted makes its art mobile and publicly available by displaying it at various local sites in a utility trailer (also for sale via J&J Sauer). Most Wanted operates on a loose philosophy of artistic socialism; while each artist promotes his own work, it is for the goal of the group's success as well as the individual's. By booking shows for our artists and musicians, Most Wanted is serious about helping each member of our team achieve success while simultaneously enriching the local (and eventually national) art and music scenes by giving below-the-radar artists a platform and a voice.
Since we're new MySpace friends I wanted to send you a link to my latest mix, it's a free download ofmy set at American Gothic in Columbus. Let me know what you think and feel free to pass it along to your friends :)

Squonk Opera and the Lively Arts College of Fine Arts Performance Plus present Indiana County: The Opera.
Come celebrate Indiana County with a new installment in our ‘Hometown Series’, a show that has been called “noisy, colorful, funny, outrageous” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and “a quirky, playful, music- and image-driven piece of performance art “ by the Tribune Review.
Our show is not exactly ‘opera’, but a multi-media live concert that weaves music with video projections, props and puppets. To see more of what we do, check out our website at http://www. squonkopera. org.
Indiana County: The Opera includes amazing Indiana based dance and choral groups, and lots of video interviews with Indiana County residents.
Friday, January 30 at 8:00 pm Fisher Auditorium IUP Performing Arts Center
Tickets are available in advance at the Hadley Union Building, at iuptickets. com, the door starting at 7:00 p.m. or call (724) 357-2547 for information
Come join us and say Hi! Hope to see you there! Squonk Opera
Many thanks for the friendship! We would be honored if you read and comment the new artist interviews on our profile!
SEX AND CONSPIRACY! Swedish punkrocker and painter Karl Backman talks about his art, and the reactions to it from right wing christians, pee fetish girls and conspiracy theorists.
MYTHOLOGIES AND LIFE! French graphic designer and writer Laurent Rivelaygue discuss nightmares and a road movie in bumper cars.
GRACE AND ELEGANCE! American artist Betsy Jones talks about geometric landscapes, happiness and the arts of the geisha.
Now it’s time to negotiate for one of your “top friend” positions. Things we are willing to do may include (but is not limited to):
1. Jackass stunts (Pat got off a perfectly good motorcycle at 50 feet in the air without a parachute)
2. Topless pictures of band members (when Ray is naked, he looks like he’s wearing a wookie costume),
Or, 3. Videos of aeronautical misadventures (Tony almost took out half the band when he landed his plane like Lynard Skynard was onboard).
Hell, we could even be talked into showing you something that looks like a baby bird (on second thought, you may want to pass on that last suggestion.)
Blessed Samhain, Happy Halloween & to our Pagan friends, Happy New Year! This is the time of year for divination, so break out the runes, tarot cards, scrying mirrors or better yet, support your local witch ;) The veil between this world and the next becomes thin and old friends and relatives may come to visit. However you celebrate October 31st, enjoy and be safe. ~CA
