Envisioning A Just Pittsburgh
2026-2027 ENVISIONING A JUST PITTSBURGH CALL FOR ART
Led by Carnegie Museums, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh and EJP’s newest partner, the Children’s Museum, and anchored by our community partners August Wilson African American Cultural Center and 1Hood Media, this year’s theme, Home, invites artists and partners to explore what it means to belong, to feel grounded, and to imagine Pittsburgh as a place where everyone can live and thrive.
The fourth annual Call for Art invites artists to respond to Home as both a question and a practice.
We encourage new submissions from artists in grades 6-12 as well as adults, across a range of categories including Writing for the Page, Visual Art, Performance & Interdisciplinary that explore:
- Pittsburgh as home.
- Is home another place, remembered or longed for?
- Coming home to oneself, to one’s body, or to one’s history.
- Is home a community, a language, or a feeling rather than a location?
- Immigration, refugee experiences, and the many ways people create home in Pittsburgh.
- What does it mean to make Home in a place where you are told you don’t belong?
- Homemaking as Resistance.
