Deadline: May 23, 2011 at 5pm
The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council seeks nominations for the
Mayor’s Award for Public Art, recognizing an individual’s or
organization’s efforts in the development of high quality public
art. This award was established in 2007 by Pittsburgh Mayor Luke
Ravenstahl to acknowledge the power of public art to benefit the
region economically, socially, and aesthetically, and to celebrate
those who are most committed to supporting this important element
of our community. The 2011 award will be presented at the Greater
Pittsburgh Art Council’s annual meeting on June 8, 2011 at the
August Wilson Center.
Mayor Luke Ravenstahl will select a finalist based on the quality
and impact of the public art project or initiative.
