Carol R. Brown Awards 2018

The Pittsburgh Foundation and The Heinz Endowments invite you to celebrate the visionary work of Pittsburgh artists by attending the 2018 Carol R. Brown Creative Achievement Awards. Please join us as we recognize an established artist, Tony Ferrieri, and an emerging artist, Alisha B. Wormsley, for exemplary artistic achievements and promise for future work. This year marks the seventh presentation of these awards. Carol R. Brown served as president of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust during the transformation of the cultural district in downtown Pittsburgh from a red-light district to a nationally recognized model for arts-based community redevelopment. She conceived of the awards in 1991 as an avenue to support working artists and their creative processes from concept to completion. The Carol R. Brown Awards are a component of the Investing in Professional Artists Program, which is among a select few in the region that provide direct philanthropic support to individuals.
