Wilkinsburg Arts Commission

The Wilkinsburg Arts Commission has been renamed, we are now the Wilkinburg Art Advisory Board. Our mission remains the same, to support the arts and artists in our Borough. If you are interested in serving on the Board we currently have vacancies for an arts administrator/curator/or urban planner, an architect, two artists, and a representative of Ward 2 (must reside there). You do not have to be a resident for the other seats but it is preferred. We meet once a month on the second Thursday at 6pm in the Borough Building. Please message us here if you are interested.
