Comics Reading Room and Courtyard

Supported by grant of $7,500 on October 14, 2011 through the Seed Award program

The Pittsburgh Comics Reading Room and Comics Courtyard will be a publicly accessible courtyard in downtown Pittsburgh’s Cultural District at 945 Liberty Avenue. The courtyard identified by its iconic Jazz Musician statues will feature café tables, outdoor exhibition space, audio, a mini café, a stage for comics reading events and performances, and access to more than 1,000 comics, manga and comic-related research materials. A space within the ToonSeum will be dedicated to that library and provide year-round access to comics and cartoon research. There also will be a special section dedicated to local comic creators.
