"Pittsburgh has long maintained a thriving arts scene thanks in part to its legacy of Gilded Age philanthropy and in part to its big-but-not-too-big size, which supports a diverse arts ecosystem while maintaining a friendly atmosphere."
"The only thing we seem to be short on is a gallery scene."
"Since Covid, several energetic young gallerists, drawing on their industry experiences in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere, have set up shop in Pittsburgh."
The Carnegie International has been a significant exhibition in the US since 1896, showcasing global art trends. Pittsburgh's art scene benefits from its philanthropic legacy and diverse ecosystem.

However, post-Covid, new gallerists are emerging, indicating a potential shift in the local art landscape, with efforts to enhance the city's cultural offerings.
