Current Public Art Projects

New works of public art are created each year through the city's Percent For Art budget, grant-funded programs, or community-led initiatives. Here you can see what projects may be underway or upcoming in your neighborhood, as well as learn the details of recently-installed artwork around the city.



Current Percent for Art Projects

The Percent For Art program was adopted by Pittsburgh city ordinance in 1977. This legislation dedicated 1% of municipal construction or major renovation budgets to the inclusion of public art. Although this funding allocation was overlooked for periods of time, in recent years this program has resulted in many new works of public art on city property, most commonly in public parks.
