Each month will feature a unique theme dedicated to uplifting Pittsburgh's diverse voices, empowering local artists, and creating opportunities to use art to learn more about different cultures in our city. "I could not be prouder to use the Mayor's Office as a platform to showcase and highlight such incredible and diverse artists from across Pittsburgh," said Mayor Gainey. "Our greatest asset is our people. We must support local artists, our Black artists, our Women artists, and everyone in Pittsburgh. Art and Culture are essential to building pathways to prosperity and rich, full lives for everyone in our city. Celebrating culture and learning from each other is how we grow and become the most inclusive city in America. Pittsburgh's talented artists deserve this platform and it is my honor to highlight and share the incredible work of our residents." The first Pittsburgh Paints exhibit is in honor of Black History Month and features the work of Brandon Jennings, Ashante Josey, Marlon Gist, Douglas Webster, Irene Sparks, Kellye Jean Dawson-Young, Baba Amir Rashiid, Jamie Acie Sr, Ernest Bey, Hurley Charles Nance, and Theresa Rose Monroe.

I have always been passionate about art providing an opportunity for us to learn and explore different cultures, ideas, and perspectives. It is my honor to work with the incredible community in Pittsburgh to showcase our local talent. I hope this series can help inspire our children to think creatively and embrace opportunities to learn about something new." Pittsburgh's 90 neighborhoods are filled with rich and incredible cultures. The Pittsburgh Paints initiative will build on the Mayor's efforts to celebrate our city's diversity and empower the voices of those that have been pushed out or left behind for far too long.
