“Pittsburgh is one of the most supportive arts communities I’ve been a part of. It’s a perfect home base for artists to settle in--a place where artists can try things out, experiment and improve their work.”

I got another email today from one of our creative team members who said they were humbled to be part of this.

Mutually humbled.

That's how I know this will be magic.
