About:
Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts is committed to the artist and the advancement of artistic excellence in visual arts – specifically film, video, photography, digital media, and fine and creative arts and crafts; the provision of equipment and facilities for artists; the conduct of instructional programs; and the stimulation of public understanding and awareness through exhibitions, demonstrations, and sales.
Gallery Spaces:
With over 5,000 square feet of exhibition space, the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts galleries are dedicated to presenting exhibitions of both the region’s prominent and emerging visual artists, as well as bringing in artists working nationally and internationally. In early 2009, one of the galleries was converted into a dedicated space to present video works, offering professional presentation of video and film in a gallery setting.
The Pittsburgh Filmmakers galleries exhibit local and national artists with a focus in electronic media, photography/video and installation. As a resource for both prominent and emerging artists working locally or nationally, our mission is to promote a multidisciplinary approach to exhibiting in order to further develop artistic practice, technical prowess and the contemporary arts in Pittsburgh.
Artists are expected to transport their work to and from the galleries and to pay all exhibition expenses not assumed by PF/PCA. As a part of the Artist Services program, PF/PCA offers artists information regarding grants and other resources.
