Event Details

After two years of changes in the arts and the world at large, the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council wants to better address the needs of our community. Join us for a town hall where you can express your needs and desires as an arts organization in Pittsburgh. You do not have to be a member of the Arts Council to attend.

Why Attend?

It is our mission as an Arts Council to share the region's diverse and vibrant arts and cultural community with those who live here. We want to hear your thoughts, opinions, and ideas for programs that we can create to better serve you. What you share with us might be the foundation for Pittsburgh’s arts and cultural practices for years to come!

How it Works

We will lead participants through specific discussion points where you can provide your opinions and ideas for Arts Council programming. We will ask everyone to limit their input to two minutes, so everyone can speak.

You are invited to respond to the agenda (found below) in survey form prior to the town hall, whether or not you attend the actual event. This will ensure all your thoughts are captured. Click here to visit the arts organization Town Hall Survey.

The town hall for Pittsburgh’s arts organizations will take place in a private Zoom meeting, and will not be publicly shared. Following this town hall, we will analyze and evaluate the information shared to better serve the community’s needs in 2022 and beyond. We will publish our findings on our website, excluding all identifying information.

You must register for this free event to receive a Zoom meeting link.
