Pittsburgh is ART

In case you've been under a rock recently, the message is out: "Pittsburgh is ART" and we want the whole world to know.

A collaboration of Arts Council members and other local arts organizations have gathered to develop a collective voice to share our story with visitors of the Pittsburgh Summit and beyond. It's the "Pittsburgh is ART" initiative and basically, the message breaks down like this:



  • Art transforms Pittsburgh


  • Art employs Pittsburgh


  • Art "greens" Pittsburgh


  • Art inspires Pittsburgh

Those are the basics, but you can read even more detail over at the Community E-Forum, hosted by our friends at the Pittsburgh Foundation who have outlined it on their blog quite well.

Visit http://www.pittsburghisart.org/ to learn about the bounty of arts events taking place in and around Pittsburgh through the G20 Summit and beyond. Also check out http://www.myg20.org/, an excellent "crowd-sourced" site to the best of Pittsburgh.

Want to get your arts organization directly involved in the "Pittsburgh is ART" initiative? Contact Maggie at mjohnson@pittsburghartscouncil.org for an invite.
