Community Supported Art (CSA PGH) was a program that built lasting relationships with artists and cultural consumers between 2013 and 2020.
Not unlike the boxes of fruit and vegetables that one might get from a local farm as an agricultural CSA, CSA PGH created “shares” of art to feed the public’s cultural appetite. We were part of a national artist-driven movement that commissions artists to produce editionable works that are grouped and sold to the public as CSA PGH shares.
Shareholders were invited to special events to pick up the artwork, meet the artists, and talk with the CSA PGH team. The program commissioned 35 artists and produced 210 shares.
