Riverlife and the Office of Public Art have partnered to launch the Pittsburgh Creative Corps (PCC), an initiative to engage artists and creative workers to activate the public realm while providing economic opportunity. The program is a coordinated effort to commission artists and other creative workers to fabricate and install public art, and create civic engagement programs throughout the Downtown neighborhood and river-adjacent spaces in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This summer PCC is hosting a series of free classes and workshops to connect residents with local dance studios, yoga studios, writers, and artists. See a full list of events below and learn more about PCC on the Office of Public Art’s website.
