Sprout Fund Downtown Pittsburgh Public Art Project

Design Proposals The Sprout Fund

In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, The Sprout Fund will commission a large-scale work of Downtown public art at 429 4th Avenue across from the City-County Building. Following a national call for highly-qualified artists with a strong connection to the region, four artist teams were selected to create site-specific design proposals for the project. In April, a selection committee will choose a design by one of these four artists. The work will be installed in late spring/early summer 2012. You can read more about the project here, or click on the images below to learn about the proposals and the artists who created them. Comments and feedback are welcome!
