No
matter
where
you
are
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
you
are
steps
away
from
experiencing
a
work
of
art.
Public
art
is
a
distinguishing
part
of
our
home.
It
is
freely
accessible
and
enables
people
to
experience
art
in
their
daily
life
outside
of
museums
or
other
cultural
institutions.
It
reflects
our
history
and
our
evolving
culture.
A
Yeah
I'd
be
glad
to
this
is
an
example
of
what
we
call
a
percent
for
art
project.
So
there
is
a
city
ordinance
that
states
that
anytime,
the
city
is
building
a
new
municipal
building
or
renovating
a
building
above
$50,000.
The
city
is
to
set
aside
one
percent
of
that
budget
to
art.
So
that's
what
we
did
when
we
relocated
the
zone
free
police
station
to
Allentown.
We
took
over,
purchased
and
worked
at
the
URA
to
take
over
this
old
youth
hostel.
That's
right
on
the
corner.
A
A
Neighbourly
presents
in
the
community,
so
the
best
way
to
do
that
is
to
get
an
artist
involved
right.
So
the
community
worked
with
the
city
and
developing
a
call
for
artists.
We
actually
worked
with
the
office
of
public
art,
our
nonprofit
partner
as
well
to
distribute
a
open
call
for
artists.
So
through
a
public
process,
local
artists,
Kim
Beck-
he
teaches
at
CMU
and
is
pretty
well
known
nationally
as
well
was
selected.
We're
really
proud
of
it.
B
C
The
views
of
the
city,
the
views
of
the
streets
up
and
down
or
just
I
think
really
amazing
and
some
of
the
best
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
So
when
I
had
a
chance
to
make
a
proposal,
I
decided
to
use
drawings
that
were
based
on
the
photographs
from
the
neighborhood
I
knew
that
these
panels
would
be
metal
and
I
knew
that
the
piece
was
going
to
be
etched.
So
I
didn't
really
make
any
decisions
in
terms
of
the
material,
but
I
knew
that
I
wanted
to
work
with
line
drawings
based
on
these
photographs.
Interesting.
C
B
C
One
of
the
parts
about
the
process
that
I
really
enjoyed
was
meeting
with
the
community
of
you
know:
people
who
live
in
this
area,
who
were
part
of
that
process,
Morton
Brown
this
the
office
of
public
art,
rene,
Pataki
and
then
actually
the
again.
The
people
who
are
part
of
this
neighborhood
who
sat
on
that
committee,
I
liked
having
the
conversation
with
them
about
kinds
of
images
that
were
going
to
be
represented
here
and
I,
knew
that
you
know.
C
Having
line
drawings
here
would
seem
to
some
people
like
very
sparse
suggestions
of
images
rather
than
having
a
photograph
at
dawn,
for
example.
But
the
idea
of
having
a
really
simple
line
drawing
is
that
it
kind
of
allows
people
to
start
to
imagine
into
dream
in
to
fill
in
the
rest
of
the
image
with
you
know,
they're,
using
their
imagination
to
fill
in
the
rest
of
it.
C
So
so
I've
been
really
pleased
to
have
the
feedback
that
people
you
know
stand
at
the
bus,
stop
and
look
at
it
and
think
about
the
neighborhood
and
it's
it
definitely
makes
the
police
station
maybe
a
little
bit
more
welcoming
and
open.
As
a
reflection
of
the
community,
rather
than
just
being
a
barricaded
facade,
it
is
more
of
a
reflection
of
the
the
city
way.
