Pittsburgh’s art scene: from rust to renaissance
As the 59th Carnegie International opens, a city once synonymous with industrial grit reveals itself as one of the most dynamic cultural destinations in the United States
By Emilie Trice | Apr 23, 2026
When the Carnegie International launched in 1896, Pittsburgh was so polluted that it was referred to as ‘hell with the lid off.’ By the time Andy Warhol was an art student at Carnegie Tech in the 1940s (known today as Carnegie Mellon University), Pittsburgh’s steel mills literally rained ash, blanketing the city with soot. This year, the 59th Carnegie International returns to a city transformed by civic investment and creative resilience. Once a symbol of Rust Belt decline, Pittsburgh is now environmentally oriented, tech-savvy, and home to an arts ecosystem that is more vital than ever. Keep reading :)

Neighborly: a play on two stoops
City Theatre is thrilled to announce an in-process reading of Neighborly: a play on two stoops by Chisa Hutchinson. The play was developed through the theatre’s Kemp Powers Commission Fund for Black Playwrights.
Friday, May 15th - 7pm
Tickets are free, but registration is required.
In this untraditional buddy comedy, a teenage Harlem transplant and a middle-aged gruff Yinzer form an unlikely friendship in present-day Pittsburgh’s Mexican War Streets; but when the community that brings them together threatens to tear them apart, these two next door neighbors must confront generations of divisiveness in the city they call home.
The play was developed through a residency for Hutchinson over the summer of 2024 that included engaging with numerous partners and community members in Pittsburgh. “So after a sweet, days-long whirlwind tour of town which included archival research and museums and meetings with leaders and artists and a pilgrimage to August Wilson's house and visits to various other historic sites, it was literally just seeing some random bearded guy take out his trash on a drive that sparked the idea for this play,” said Playwright Chisa Hutchinson. “Pittsburgh is legit one of the most unassuming and least pretentious places I've been in, and I hope I did it justice in this play.”
