5 things to do in Westmoreland County: Jan. 28-30
Art-making opportunity
Community members are invited to participate in MadLab work sessions planned for noon to 5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Feb. 19 at Your Are Here gallery, 406 Clay Ave., Jeannette.
MadLab is an art project that creates benches and mosaic planters made of recycled materials to be placed in publicly accessible spaces around Jeannette. Local artists are on hand to supervise the process; no art-making experience is needed.
Participants must be at least 12 years old; those 12 to 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is required for time slots of two hours or longer. All workers get a MadLab T-shirt.
Mad Lab is funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Westmoreland County.

A fleeting glimpse
Floyd Live, billed as “The Authentic Sound of Pink Floyd,” will take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Lamp Theatre in Irwin.
The musical tribute ensemble’s website boasts of “a long history of sold-out performances, international TV, live radio/media broadcasts, an intelligent light show employing the use of lasers, fog, projection and a few surprises,” along with an endorsement from Carlo Basile, a promotion manager with EMI, Pink Floyd’s onetime record label.
A ticket is $30 at 724-367-4000 or lamptheatre.org.
