Winners of the 2024 Inclusive Call for Art
In June 2024, Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh, 1Hood Media, and the August Wilson African American Cultural Center again joined together to host the second iteration of Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh, an inclusive call for art that encouraged artists throughout southwestern Pennsylvania to share their visions for a just and equitable Pittsburgh.
Thank you to the more than 100 individuals who submitted their thoughtful work! We are proud to showcase replicas of the First and Second Place winners as well as several Honorable Mentions in the competition’s Visual Art, Performance Art, Literary Art, and Interdisciplinary Art categories. Their compelling works will be exhibited at Carnegie Museum of Natural History throughout the month of February and into March. Original artwork will be displayed at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center from February 20 through March 30.
