We are seeking artists to participate in the Temporary Public Art and Placemaking Program in which community based organizations and artists will work in concert with residents to develop a temporary work of public art to be on display in six communities in Pittsburgh and first-ring suburbs. The artworks will be located in each of Neighborhood Allies’ target neighborhoods including the Hill District, Homewood, Larimer, Millvale, Wilkinsburg, and the Southern Hilltops.
