Pittsburgh-area artist Mary Mazziotti has added new work to her series that calls out the threat of creeping authoritarianism.

There’s no shortage of inspiration as Trump and his clown car of a Cabinet provide endless material for outrage and disgust.

Mary Mazziotti’s new show, “Thank You for Your Attention to This Matter: Social & Political Observations of the Regime,” is open at the BE Galleries in Pittsburgh’s Lawrenceville neighborhood until March 1. Visit be Galleries for more details.
