The Pittsburgh Botanic Garden presents a special exhibit, Momentum, throughout the summer, celebrating the organization’s 10th anniversary. The 460-acre garden in Allegheny County features cultivated woodlands and gardens and occasionally hosts special exhibits.

Designed by Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics, Momentum transforms the garden’s landscape into installation art pieces of vibrant colors and interactive movements. Keith Kaiser, executive eirector of Pittsburgh Botanic Garden, explained how they made this exhibition happen in Pittsburgh.

“I had seen this exhibit of his work last year at the American Public Garden Association’s annual conference, and I thought it’s a great exhibit. I met [Shearn] and talked to him, and I said, ‘Patrick, we’re bringing this to Pittsburgh.’”
