1. Who We Are.
The Pittsburgh Artist Registry is operated by the Office of Public Art, a partnership between the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and the City of Pittsburgh Department of City Planning with funding provided by The Heinz Endowments. The Pittsburgh Artist Registry is funded in part by a grant from the National Endowments for the Arts.
2. Purpose.
We allow selected artists (“Artists”) in a variety of disciplines to post their art and/or representations of their art (“Artist Worksamples”) and contact information on this website (“Website”). We permit Users who agree to these Terms of Use to view such Artist Worksamples on this Website. Artists who desire to submit Artist Worksamples or to be included in the Registry should review our Privacy Policy and follow the instructions. Users may contact the Artists directly to purchase artwork or art-related services. Artists and users who enroll in the Pittsburgh Artist Registry will be included in monthly email communications called the Artist Opportunities Listserv, and users may opt out at any time. Any communications or transactions between Users and Artists are handled between the Users and the Artists and we are not involved and take no responsibility whatsoever in connection with those activities.
