Carnegie Artist’s Showcase at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall
Dave has several paintings representing Carnegie on view at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall in Carnegie. Known as the “Carnegie Carnegie,” it is the second library built by Carnegie and is a cultural gem that includes A Lincoln Portrait Gallery and a Music Hall.
Carnegie Artist’s Showcase is a celebration of the community’s creativity, with Carnegie-based artists represented.
On view August 2 through 16.
July was hot
VIP parties, workshops, and private events…
“These trees will reward the community for 200 years.”
We have been watching everything come together in the garden. The Anthony Vitale Sculptures and the fifteen native Pennsylvania trees look happy to have found new homes, plus the birds have been spreading the word about their beauty.
Dave at Double Dog Studios
Be an advocate. Support small town arts.
My name is Dave Klüg. I co-own Double Dog Studios. I am deeply connected to our community as a resident, business owner, professional illustrator, and artist.
The arts are essential in a small town because they help build a strong sense of community, identity, and pride. They unite people, whether through local theater, galleries, music, or public art, and create shared experiences connecting neighbors across generations and backgrounds. In places where resources may be limited, the arts provide creative outlets for self-expression and storytelling, preserving local history and culture. They can also boost the local economy by attracting visitors, supporting small businesses, and nurturing local talent. Simply put, the arts help towns feel alive, connected, and full of possibility.
Notes for everyone

Dave + Phil + Wigle Whiskey
On Saturday, January 18th, Wigle Whiskey hosted not one but two Phil’s Shadow Bottle Release Parties with Punxsutawney Phil at their Strip District headquarters with his inner circle! Dave Klüg scored a hat trick with his third label and sold limited edition prints of his Groundhog Day-inspired artwork at both celebrations.
The 2025 Wigle bottle release of Phil's Shadow Maple Barrel Finished Whiskey! This whiskey, in partnership with the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, celebrates two Pennsylvania institutions & honors the eccentric traditions of our beloved Keystone State. To pay homage to the world-famous Groundhog Phil, Wigle combined their award-winning Pennsylvania Straight Rye Whiskey and the Pennsylvania maple syrup production tradition to create a bold, spicy spirit complemented by a pronounced, rich maple sweetness.
Pick up a bottle wherever Wigle products are sold. Plus, prints are available in our store & online.
Growing!
Double Dog Gardens is a unique endeavor that came together in 2024 through a series of fortunate coincidences, transforming a piece of land into an inspiring landscape. It all began when the St. Joseph Church lot next to Double Dog Studios presented itself, offering the perfect setting for a vibrant garden. Soon after, two large-scale sculptures by Carnegie native Anthony Vitale found their way here, lending structure and personality to the space. To complement the sculptures, native trees were thoughtfully planted, creating a natural sanctuary that merges art, nature, and community.
What began as chance is evolving into a celebration of the unexpected beauty that comes from spontaneous creativity.
Thank you, John & Mary Guide, Philip & Jean Salvato, Bob Podurgiel, The Vitale Family, LaMarr Kemp, Sr., Paul Marcinizyn, Cody Stroud, and the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.
