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.
“Curating and leading the Walk & Write and Book Tour programs with Shiftworks has allowed me to explore new neighborhoods and spaces, to think more deeply about Pittsburgh and its waterways, to be creative and engaged with the participants who have joined our walks, some new to the city or just visiting for a weekend, others lifelong Pittsburghers.”
