PITT ARTS has been connecting University of Pittsburgh Oakland campus students to the cultural life of Pittsburgh since it was founded in 1997. Funded by the Office of the Provost, PITT ARTS sponsors over 115 free student outings for Pitt undergraduates each year, including trips to the symphony, opera, ballet, gallery and museum exhibits, hands-on workshops, jazz concerts, independent film, and much more.
The program also provides on-campus art experiences, free museum visits for Pitt students, as well as discounted cultural opportunities for staff, faculty, undergraduate and graduate students. PITT ARTS engages more than 50,000 Pitt students, including repeaters, every single year, and is an active partner in the Outside the Classroom Curriculum.
