In 2024, we reached an incredible milestone—40 years of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust!
Four decades ago, our story began with a bold vision to transform the Cultural District—a vision that has forever changed our arts and culture landscape in Pittsburgh. You can see this transformation in the venues we’ve restored and continue to enhance, the outdoor spaces we’ve designed and continue to create, and the public art we’ve commissioned and continue to install.
Most importantly, you can feel the impact of those transformations with every visit, through the wide array of arts experiences that we bring into our spaces.
This year, we created more opportunities for people to experience these impactful moments. As a result, we reached more students and educators than in previous years, engaged new audiences through community programs, and connected with many others through more free visual arts events than ever before. We added compelling public art to our streets—from monumental sculptures to colorful kites— and filled our stages with diverse voices from our city, region, and around the world.
A key part of our ongoing evolution has been our work on the 8th Street Block. This summer, we reintroduced The Giant Eagle Foundation Backyard with refreshed programming and a vibrant new look—and this was just the beginning. We’re continuing to transform this space into an exciting new arts destination, open for all to enjoy.
None of our progress—this year or in the last forty—would be possible without those who laid the foundation for a vibrant arts scene. At our Big 40 Gala, we honored three of those individuals with our inaugural Icon Awards: Carol Brown, Thaddeus Mosley, and Teresa Heinz.
Their contributions, along with the support of so many others, continue to inspire our work. To our arts partners, donors, patrons, staff, and volunteers— your passion and dedication are the driving force behind everything we do. We can’t thank you enough.
As you read through this report, we invite you to reflect on how far we’ve come in 40 years, celebrate our achievements this year, and take part in shaping what’s to come.

ARTS EDUCATION
By the Numbers
Through our Arts Education programs, we provided learners of all backgrounds with opportunities to engage in artistic expression, deepen cultural awareness, build interpersonal connections, and develop essential skills. In 2024, we continued expanding access to the arts, engaging with 135 teaching artists, serving 260 schools and organizations, including 153 public schools from 84 school districts and 12 counties.

Arts Education Highlights
School Day Matinee Series
This year marked the successful return of our School Day Matinee Series, which featured nine school performances. Through ticket and transportation subsidies for Title I schools, we ensured equitable access to these arts experiences. In total, 13,523 students and teachers attended Trust performances in 2024—a 150% increase from the previous year.
Attending this performance has changed my opinion about theater and/or other performing arts in a very beneficial way. Now that I have seen the performance, I really want to enjoy and see many more.
– Student, Greater Latrobe Junior High School
STEAM Symposium
With our first-ever STEAM Symposium, we welcomed 400 students in grades 6–12 and their educators for a free, full-day event in the Cultural District. Led by industry experts and arts professionals, students participated in interactive workshops exploring the intersection of STEM and the arts.
PNC Grow Up Great
Our PNC Grow Up Great initiative impacted 2,599 children through free StoryCorners, Jazz Time!, and the Children’s Theater Festival activities. Collaborations with the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center and Maple Unified Student Academy extended our reach.
It was a wonderful performance. Seeing real musicians from the city kept the students engaged. The students enjoyed participating and really enjoyed the show as a whole.
– Teacher, Barrett Elementary
Disney Musicals in Schools
The content was good...made students think about the impact of all architecture on the environment around it. The activities were engaging in a very authentic and meaningful way. Students wished they had more time in this session, which is always a good sign.
– Teacher, Avonworth Middle School Junior High School
With the participation of seven schools, including four new ones, we doubled our engagement in our Disney Musicals in Schools program. The program is free for Title 1 schools and concluded with a Student Share Celebration, where 216 students showcased their talents on the Byham Theater stage.
We had our performance today and they were amazing. They performed with excitement, joy, pride, and a whole bunch of other adjectives. I know we did Disney proud!” -

In 2024, we focused on introducing new initiatives to engage diverse communities across the Pittsburgh area. In partnership with several community partners, we were able to connect people through authentic cultural traditions and allow them to experience the arts in new ways—from the restorative power of music to the energizing impact of food and dance.
Community Engagement Highlights
Día de los Muertos Celebration
By the Numbers
DIA DE LOS MUERTOS
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Interactions & Viewers
At select venues across the Cultural District, attendees experienced the vibrant sights, sounds, and flavors of Mexican culture during our first-ever, ten-day celebration of Día de los Muertos. A highlight of the celebration was our interactive ofrenda, which grew each day as the public contributed personal mementos in honor of their loved ones. This celebration was presented in partnership with the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Los Gallitos, Mariachi Internacional, Mexico Lindo, and Zapta Studios. The celebration was part of our new Cultural Celebrations programming—a series of events designed to celebrate the diversity of our community.
Lullaby Project
During our first-ever Lullaby Project, nine parents and caregivers were paired with professional artists to create deeply personal lullabies for their babies. We connected with these families through partnerships When She Thrives, the Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh, and Beverly’s PGH. After brainstorming, writing, and recording the lullabies, the Project culminated in a Celebration Concert at the Greer Cabaret Theater, where participants enjoyed their lullabies performed by professional musicians in a beautiful concert setting. Participants described the experience as therapeutic, highlighting benefits like family and intergenerational bonding, artistic collaboration, and community support.
This was an opportunity to reach a larger audience and educate those unfamiliar with these traditions. That’s important because people realize that we all have more in common that we know, no matter what we believe or where we come from.
- Lisa DiGioia-Nutini, ofrenda artist
The participants were joyous, crying, and happy as they saw these songs come to life. To see the reactions after the product was complete and how they were affected in a positive way was incredibly moving.
The lullaby has been incredibly soothing. I listen to it often, and tears roll down my cheek. Everything indeed is beautiful in its time, even if it starts off not so.
New Community Connections Programming
We kicked off our Community Connections programming with company members from Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. Hosted at Kelly Strayhorn’s Alloy Studios and moderated by Jesse Factor, dancer and Point Park University Assistant Professor of Dance, the conversation explored the company’s 50th anniversary celebration and the
experience of performing in the renowned allmale ballet troupe. The event was the first in this program—an initiative that invites touring artists from Trust series to present free workshops in various Pittsburgh communities, and then provides tickets for participants to see the show.

ARTS PRESENTER ARTS PERFORMING
In 2024, we offered an exciting range of live performances, from Broadway shows and theater productions to dance, jazz, and more. By partnering with local and national artists, we created memorable moments that energized the cultural scene in Pittsburgh.
Program Highlights
The Hamilton Effect
A highlight of our PNC Broadway in Pittsburgh series, Hamilton attracted over 64,000 visitors. While in town, the smash-hit musical generated an estimated $25 million in economic activity for the region.
Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare
For the fifth time, we brought back the beloved and hilarious Sh!t-Faced Shakespeare, this time with a rousing rendition of Much Ado About Nothing The show drew nearly 1,750 patrons over nine performances at the Greer Cabaret—a rousing success of full houses!
Fire Shut Up in My Bones
In collaboration with the Pittsburgh Opera, we welcomed seven-time Grammy-winning jazz legend Terence Blanchard to the Byham Theater for a powerful performance of his acclaimed concert opera, Fire Shut Up in My Bones: Excerpts in Concert
Dawn of the Dead
Our screenings of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1987) at the Harris Theater were the highest grossing of all participating theaters. The film, which is not available on cable or any streaming platform, was a rare treat for viewers. In fact, it’s estimated that over 80% of fans have never experienced the cult classic in theaters.
The Evolution of JazzLive
We launched a new partnership with MCG Jazz, an organization known for its longstanding jazz subscription series, to co-present the BNY Presents JazzLive series.
“We so appreciate the lower cost opportunities and shows that allow us to take our entire family (kids included) to the theater. We cherish all of “our” Pittsburgh theaters and the amazing shows they offer, but we don’t always have the budget for some of the bigger productions that come to town. But we always appreciate and take advantage of the family and budget-friendly offerings.
Thank you so much!

ARTS PRESENTER ARTS VISUAL
Working with the Trust has been a highlight of our year.
-
With a variety of exhibitions, public art projects, new partnerships, and more public programs than ever, we provided a platform for artists of diverse backgrounds to showcase their work—some making their Pittsburgh debut, others presenting their first solo exhibition—all reaching new audiences. Through free and accessible programming, we connected our community with these artists and their work in fresh and impactful ways.
Program Highlights:
Roger Jacoby Screening at the Harris Theater
Alongside the world premiere of “Roger Jacoby: Pittsburgh Stories” at Wood Street Galleries, we hosted a one-night-only screening of Jacoby’s 16mm films in partnership with Pittsburgh Sound + Image —footage unseen by the public for years. Playing to a packed house at the Harris Theater, the screening was followed by a panel discussion led by three people important to Roger’s life.
FUSION with Foodprep and Transit
A multisensory experience to nourish the soul, Foodprep featured five DJs and live musicians, an interactive new media installation, two experimental food artists, and custom craft beverages. This one-night-only Gallery Crawl program brought local, national, and international artists of diverse practices together for a program that could only be presented at Wood Street Galleries.
VaultArt Studio Collaboration
We formed a new partnership with VaultArt Studio, a progressive arts studio in Pittsburgh that supports and promotes artists with disabilities in contemporary art. So far, this collaboration has resulted in two exhibitions: “Life is Nice but Odd and Strange at the Same Time” at 820 Gallery, featuring 100 works by 16 Vault Studio resident artists, and “We Are Not Alone,” the first solo exhibition from Kim Bond at 707 Gallery. Bond also created billboards that lined Tito Way in the Cultural District. This partnership is ongoing and will result in more collaborative exhibitions.
The Cultural Trust partnered with us every step of the way to bring our artistic vision to life, giving us the opportunity to spotlight the talented artists behind our newly released LP, DTR-007. Through this event, we were able to showcase and continue investing in rising local artists and members of the ever-expanding global Pittsburgh electronic music diaspora.

STEWARDSHIP OF ICONIC VENUES STEWARDSHIP
A great venue sets the stage for incredible experiences, and we aim to make every element of these spaces exceptional—from the lighting and sound to the hospitality and accessibility services. In 2024, we introduced award-winning upgrades and continued our meticulous management of our venues, all to ensure our audiences feel welcome, safe, and entertained.
Award-winning Venue
The Greer Cabaret Theater won The Electric League 2024 Lighting Award for Interior Artistry. This award recognizes exceptional lighting design in the Greater Pittsburgh area, with judges considering factors like lighting concepts and energy and environment design implementation.
Volunteerism
This year, 440 volunteers contributed 60,540 hours of service. To honor their hard work and commitment, we hosted a Steelers-themed party during Volunteer Appreciation Party in September. Forty students participated in our Beyond the Stage volunteer program. We also began outreach to other Pittsburgh-area schools, creating even more opportunities for students to develop skills and engage with the arts.
one of our volunteers,
We learned how to better accommodate people who need extra support, which is incredibly important to me as someone who may need to use those things and has a lot of friends with various disabilities or other abilities.
I learned the theater seating setup and discussed how to deal with certain situations while volunteering. This mattered to me because it gave me insight to what would be doing as a volunteer and made the idea of working a show more comfortable.

Accessibility
We installed a new lactation space in the Byham Theater and a Quiet Room in the Benedum Center, additions that provide much needed space for comfort and privacy. Our Accessibility team also began working with the Marketing and ISTS departments to enhance and streamline all accessibility-related content across the Trust’s online platforms.
Venue Improvement Projects
As stewards of 10 iconic venues, we are committed to providing the best environment for audiences, artists, and the arts. From routine upkeep to major upgrades, we completed several projects in 2024 that enhanced these spaces. Here are some of those projects:
One of our patrons, Tess Dally, attended MJ the Musical in the Benedum and shared her thoughts on our accessibility services 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Second phase of lighting and sound system upgrades at the Benedum Center.

DISTRICT DISTRICT ACTIVATION
Festivals
125,000
people attended our annual free festivals in 2024.
With an expanded footprint, the 65th Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival extended onto the Rachel Carson Bridge for the first time. We also welcomed 400 artists to showcase their work in the Artists Market—an increase of 100 from 2023. The festival featured an exciting lineup of headliners, including Ben Folds and The Sugar Hill Gang, alongside unique attractions like Cirque Kikasse.
The EQT Children’s Theater Festival featured over 25 local partners and 50+ free activities across multiple genres and venues throughout Downtown. Highlights included Frolic , a sensoryfriendly performance designed for neurodivergent audiences ages 5 and up.
The 31st Highmark First Night Pittsburgh attracted around 22,000 visitors to the Cultural District for a packed lineup of free, family-friendly events, alongside a selection of indoor ticketed attractions. With over 30 activities for all ages, highlights included a 60,000-pound ice maze, GBU Life SING-OFF winner Nay Hundo, headliner FRZY, and our longstanding New Year’s Eve parade—all capped off by a stunning fireworks display.
The Backyard: Looking Back as We Move Forward
For many years, the 8th Street Block was an unremarkable space—first as a parking garage, then as a vacant lot that we briefly activated with art installations.
Through festivals, community-driven projects, and creative partnerships, we demonstrated that the Cultural District is more than a one-time stop: it’s a cultural destination. As part of those efforts, we also challenged ourselves to find creative uses for spaces in ways that engaged everyone—from downtown workers and passersby to residents and visitors.
That changed in 2022, when we transformed the space into the newly improved Giant Eagle Foundation Backyard, a casual, communityfocused arts destination. Since then, the area has been home to numerous public art installations, jazz concerts and other musical performances, community events, sports games, Gallery Crawls, and festivals.
But the biggest transformation is yet to come. In 2024, we announced plans to transform the 8th Street Block by 2026, turning it into a vibrant 4-acre civic space. As we work toward this milestone, we’re reflecting on how our early experiments within the space helped shape our vision for its future.

Throughout the year, we explored and implemented solutions to support arts organizations in Pittsburgh—from upgraded technology and streamlined operations to the piloting of service models. Through these initiatives, we’re helping our resident companies and partners thrive, leading to increased activity in the Cultural District and a more sustainable arts ecosystem.
Enhancing Technology Solutions
Our Information Strategy and Technology Services team led a major upgrade to our Customer Management Software, Tessitura. This upgrade benefited more than 400 users across 11 organizations in the Pittsburgh Tessitura Consortium, providing enhanced analytics on patron interactions, a new framework for memberships, and improved tracking of member benefits.
Restructuring Rental Agreements
We restructured our theater rental agreements with resident companies, simplifying the process and making it more cost-effective. By providing resources like venue operations support, our partners can focus on what matters most— bringing world-class performances to the Cultural District. Overall, our new leases better support our mission to animate our venues, making them more accessible spaces for our community.
RESOURCE ARTS
Exploring New Box Office and Ticketing Solutions
We are testing out “economies of scale” solutions that support our resident organizations, like piloting a new model for box office and ticketing services. By testing shared solutions, we are aiming to save costs and increase efficiency across our organizations.
Advancing Shared Services for the Future
With our Shared Services program now in its second decade, we engaged an external consultant to analyze ongoing wins and opportunities for enhancement. Additionally, we coordinated a search committee—comprised of executives from every District Partner—to hire a new Shared Services Director, who will lead ongoing and new initiatives to strengthen collaboration across the District.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL
In 2024, we continued to carefully manage our expenses with a focus on our long-term financial health. At the same time, we strengthened our commitment to our arts partners and our investment in a resilient Cultural District.
Supporting our arts ecosystem
This year, we restructured theater leases for our resident companies, explored “economies of scale” solutions, and advanced our Shared Services program.
These efforts put us—and our arts partners—on stronger financial footing. By sharing resources and tools, we’re reducing costs and streamlining operations across our arts community. When our community grows stronger, our Cultural District thrives—leading to more opportunities and greater revenue for arts organizations and local businesses.
Investing in our spaces
Following the successful conclusion of our Comprehensive Campaign in 2022, we are utilizing donor funds to support theater capital improvements. Over the next three years, we are allocating $12 million for capital improvements
to the Benedum Center. By 2028, a total of $20 million will be invested across the Benedum, Byham, and O’Reilly Theaters.
Additionally, we have committed $3 million to the architectural design and permitting for the Arts Landing project, which supports our ongoing investment in the Cultural District as a unique arts destination for the region and beyond.
Increasing earned revenue
With support from TRG Arts, we rescaled our seating maps based on historical ticket buying data and implemented demand-based dynamic pricing. This data-driven approach has helped us exceed revenue goals, while also maintaining an inventory of accessible-priced tickets for select performances. We also redesigned our giving programs with a focus on patron loyalty. These changes have resulted in an increase of $300,000 this year, another boost to our earned revenue.
