EXPOSURE ARTIST PROGRAM AWARDS
TRANSFORMATIVE JUSTICE AWARD
In February of 2022, the Exposure Artists Program, a new arts funding initiative at The Pittsburgh Foundation, announced its first round of grants, which total $215,000. The 12 awards include support for individual artists and collectives, transformative justice grants for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) artists working at the intersection of art and activism, and to artists who have never received any foundation funding before.

WQED's new video documentary series hopes to create dialogue by sharing the thoughtful voices of a diverse group – different backgrounds, different ideas, different goals - all working towards equity.
