Grants to help fund 12 Pittsburgh professional artists
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: In the art world, as in most places, $10,000 can’t do everything. But it can do a lot.
It can help fund a multidisciplinary opera. Or, help fund a collection of historic neighborhood images to be posted along an ugly chain-link fence bordering a highway that split the community years ago. It can also support an experimental documentary about a under-recognized poet or a live mock sports draft highlighting black Pittsburghers, former and current, in various professions.

This story is incredible. Helping artists get out there. The amount of talent that goes unknown all over the world is crazy. It helps get people on there feet and help get there art work out there. One of the ways they will succeed is through people being exposed to there work. Thats hard now a day to get out there, its hard to have a new concept. There are so great artists but they never get there work out there. This is also related to theater especially the actors and musical theater kids. Its hard for them to get out there, thats why shows like Hamilton give so much hope to people the show was cast not on what they looked like but there ability. That show created so many new stars, stars finally given there chance to break out. The cast is currently doing amazing things since leaving the show going on to be tv stars and so much more. All because they were just given a chance, a chance to show what they can do.
