 the call\n\nEnvisioning a Just Pittsburgh is a call for art that aims to 
 bring together a diverse group of emerging and experienced artists to 
 depict their visions of justice\, equality\, and community resilience. This 
 year’s theme\, Home\, invites artists and partners to explore what it 
 means to belong\, to feel grounded\, and to imagine Pittsburgh as a place 
 where everyone can live and thrive. \n\nAcross Carnegie Museums\, 
 conversations about home are already unfolding through exhibitions\, 
 programs\, and partnerships that consider belonging\, memory\, and return. 
 This Call for Art extends that inquiry outward\, centering community voices 
 and lived experience across the region.  \n\nThis year\, we invite artists 
 to respond to Home as both a question and a practice. \n\n \n\nFurther 
 details on awards categories and submission criteria can be found here. 
 Submissions close on Sunday\, November 1\, 2026. \n\n \n\nEnvisioning a 
 Just Pittsburgh is a collaboration between the Carnegie Museums\, Carnegie 
 Library of Pittsburgh\, the University of Pittsburgh\, the Children's 
 Museum of Pittsburgh\, 1Hood Media\, and the August Wilson African American 
 Cultural Center.\n\n
