Our city's walls are splashed with fantastic art that speaks to the heart of the community.

A Colorful History
A little known fact for some: Pittsburgh's street art movement started as a rebellion against the dreary gray of this industrial town. Artists set out to add splashes of color and character to the cityscape, ensuring Pittsburgh wouldn’t just remain a city of steel, but also one that’s full of soul. This art form has only grown over the years, becoming a platform for diversity, activism, and community pride.

They tell tales of community and perseverance that every Yinzer should know.
