A Big Thank You to our Giving Tuesday Donors

Donating to CDCP ensures our continued dedication to bringing you quality arts programming, highlighting and supporting local artists, boosting the arts economy in Pittsburgh, and of course paying our staff.

We’d like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank those who donated to us.

We’re incredibly grateful for all of the support we’ve received since the beginning of the pandemic.

PGH Photo Fair 2020 is cancelled

We are saddened to announce the cancellation of this year’s PGH PhotoFair. With the ongoing threats posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in solidarity with the continued Black Lives Matter efforts occurring across the globe, we felt that hosting an art fair in Pittsburgh this fall would not be in the best interests of our community, our exhibitors, nor our generous hosts at the Carnegie Museum of Art. We are committed to presenting a safe and inclusive event. When we feel we can do that again, we will be thrilled to offer the 8th edition of the fair.

We will still be hosting our free Speaker Series event virtually through Zoom. Our first event with Michael Hawley will be coming up on July 1 at 6:30pm. To find out more information and to sign up for this event, please visit our webpage.  

We are also in the process of organizing other virtual programming efforts in lieu of the fair. We will continue to update you as these efforts progress. If you have suggestions for virtual programming that you feel would be engaging and useful, we would love to hear from you!

Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to celebrating contemporary photography with you again.
