Here are Five Fun Things to do the week of January 7 to 11.
Close by
Seven artists use photography to explore different notions about home as a physical place with deep emotional connections in “Close to Home,” at the Silver Eye. January 10 is the last day of the show, so don’t miss it! It’s at the Silver Eye Center for Photography, 1015 E. Carson Street, Pittsburgh. For more information, go to http://silvereye.org/
Twelfth Night
The 16th Annual Twelfth Night Gala takes place Saturday, January 10. The event pays homage to one of the greatest patrons of the arts, Louis XIV, upon the 300th anniversary of his death. Enjoy the sumptuous cuisine of E2 and the delicious libations of Bar Marco all while enjoying the company of fellow revelers and a silent art auction curated by TheAssociated Artists of Pittsburgh. Chatham Baroque will delight the audience with music that echoed through the resplendent halls of Versailles. The party gets going at the Pittsburgh Cultural Arts Center 805-807 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh. For more information and tickets, go to: http://www.showclix.com/event/3896984/listing
Second City goes Pittsburgh
Pittsburgher’s love references to Pittsburgh. Want to hear a bunch of Chicagoans make fun of Pittsburgh? Go see The Second City show, “N’at’s All Folks!” I’m betting on at least one reference to Primanti’s! The show runs from January 6 to January 10 at the O’Reilly Theater, 621 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh.

Black all over
Comedian Lewis Black is in town on January 10. The comedian is known from his Comedy Central appearances, most notably from “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” He’ll bring his rage-infused comedy to Heinz Hall, 600 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh.
