Erin O’Neill’s (he/him) personal civic goals include finding new prospects for artists to sell art. With experience as a curator, artist, registrar, and in art sales, Erin assists artists to catalyze best practices and their entrepreneurial focus. He actively listens. Engaging regional resources, he seeks opportunities to remove barriers in order to align and balance equity and inclusion.

Erin is also a champion of “STEAM” learning (science, technology, engineering, arts and math), seeing vital importance and power in the ‘A’ (arts) to make the core of projects resonate toward our humanity. As Outreach Director for the MoonArk, a mini museum complex going to our moon in 2022, he engages and shares that objective.

Erin has a Master of Public Management degree from Carnegie Mellon University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts and Exhibition Management from University of North Texas’s College of Visual Art and Design. Innovation and entrepreneurship were his master’s degree focus. He is applying life experience and those new lessons toward his role in the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council.
