When you’re hanging a show featuring 41 artists, it pays to have some help.

At the well-attended Oct. 12 opening of the Second Annual Invitational at You Are Here in Jeannette, curator Dan Overdorff said it took “a total team effort” to create a harmonious arrangement of all the featured pieces.

Helping with the task were Maddie Jaynes, Phoebe Walczak, Jess Higo-Walbridge and Chynna El-Ayazra.

The featured artists, working in a variety of 2- and 3-D medium, come from all over southwestern Pennsylvania, Overdorff said. The show is available for viewing through Nov. 23, during regular gallery hours of noon-6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and noon-3 p.m. Sundays.

Guests were offered wine and light bites. Parked outside, for those needing something a bit more substantial, was Salsa Sam’s Taco Truck.

Fred Adams provided acoustic guitar music.

Who was there at You Are Here? Mary Briggs, Jen Costello and Deb Costello, Melissa Reed, Eric Galluzzo, Maria Coughanour, Gloria Gonzalez and Becky Hohol, Ken and Jen Palmer, Jesse and Brittany Jones, Steve and Sandi Parsons, Joan McGarry and Gary Rahl, Jerry Scorpion, Bob and Pat Majcher, Keith and Shirleah Kelly, Richard and Eileen Stoner, Sarah Overdorff and Danny Overdorff.
