Students from Benet House at Adelphoi participated in a 18-week program exploring the connections between science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM). They created artworks inspired by The Westmoreland Museum or American Art's collection. The works were unveiled at a reception on May 25 at the museum, and were on exhibit at the museum through the weekend. This program was funded through a generous grant from the Fisher Fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation.
