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.
“Public art has been an opportunity to connect with a wider audience beyond galleries or shops. I think about the work in relation to whoever the audience might be, and how it can engage people wherever they are.”
