recognized a fresh concept: the arts and business could work
together with private philanthropy and the public sector to
serve the common good of Southwestern Pennsylvania. The
private-public collaboration then could energize a section of
downtown Pittsburgh linking Point State Park and Gateway
Center with the Convention Center, Allegheny River with
Liberty Avenue. It was a partnership that would allow arts
groups to grow, and to help such organizations as:
• August Wilson Center for African American Culture
• Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre
• Pittsburgh CLO
• Pittsburgh Opera
• Pittsburgh Public Theater
• Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra
• The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust
This important collaboration would further stimulate new
business, create jobs, offer new reasons to visit downtown
and expand the tax base.
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has radically
transformed the face of Downtown Pittsburgh.
