ART EXPOSÉ—WHERE ART
MEETS FASHION!
Go to Art Exposé in Wexford and see
distinctive hand-crafted artwork, giftware and
fashion created by artisans from destinations
around the world, including Portugal,
Madagascar, India and America. The artwork
is of various media, including glass, porcelain,
3-D photographs, children’s reversible dresses,
lamps made from real leaves, shoes from
South America and much more. Many of the
artists have a social mission.
The gifts are hand-selected by owner
Carolyn Dorazio and inspired from her own
collection. The shop prides itself on supplying
items found nowhere else in Pittsburgh, or
perhaps Pennsylvania, and searches far and
wide to find that one-of-a-kind gift. It can
special order your own taste! Art Exposé is
located in the Old Village of Wexford at 120
Church Road. Hours are Tuesday through

Memorial Park Church played host for
a night of music and worship, welcoming
contemporary hymn singer-songwriters Keith
and Kristyn Getty on Sunday, April 30. The
concert, open to the public, was held in the
church building on Peebles Road.
Keith and Kristyn Getty occupy a unique
space in the world of music today as pre-
eminent modern hymn writers. In
reinventing the traditional hymn form, they
have created a catalogue of songs teaching
Christian doctrine and crossing the genres of
traditional, classical, folk and contemporary
composition, which are sung the world over.
The Gettys’ songs have been performed or
recorded by a diverse range of artists including
Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, Owl City, Lyle
Lovett, Newsboys, Mercy Me, Natalie Grant,
Passion/Kristian Stanfill, Heather Headley,
Moya Brennan and choirs from Anuna to
Coventry Cathedral. They have also been
selected for significant international events
such as the Enthronement of the Archbishop
of Canterbury and the concluding ceremony
of the third Lausanne Congress.
In welcoming the Gettys to Memorial
Park, the MPC community hoped to provide
an opportunity to come together with the
surrounding Pittsburgh community regardless
of faith or denomination. “We were excited
to host the world-renowned hymn writers
and worship leaders for the Pittsburgh area,”
said lead pastor Rev. Dr. Dean Weaver. “Their
song ‘In Christ Alone’ has become perhaps
the most meaningful hymn for an entire
generation. To have offered this concert
experience to our community was a great
honor!”
