PROJECT

Pittsburgh Creative Corps

Designed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pittsburgh Creative Corps initiative engages artists and creative workers to activate the public realm while providing economic opportunity.

“Personally, working in the public art realm has paid off in unique and unexpected ways. These usually come in the form of a random message from a stranger letting me know an installation brightened their day. Those contacts from out of the blue are simply the best and make me want to keep applying.”
