Come celebrate creativity as a common thread and self-expression as a vital part of growing up! We are excited to present an exhibition of artworks made by youth artists from the Latino Community Center, Assemble, and Braddock Youth Project.

The exhibition will be on view in the Hall of Architecture from April 25 through May 11, 2025.

Our Partners

Assemble

Founded in 2011, Assemble is a nonprofit organization and community space for arts and technology education located in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood. At its core, Assemble’s mission is to build confidence through making by creating approachable opportunities for learners of all ages to engage with Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics (STEAM) based activities.

Braddock Youth Project

The Braddock Youth Project (BYP), founded in 2006, is a summer and after-school employment program for high school-aged youth to generate and maintain meaningful and sustainable community development projects, while fostering skills that aid in advancement toward positive life outcomes. These projects seek to harness the energy and creativity of young people to promote positive, culturally relevant change in their community. During the current school-year, youth are working on the following Teams: Gardening, Media and Design, Mentoring, and Murals. Youth from all of the teams were able to contribute artwork they made either during or outside of their time at BYP.

Latino Community Center

Latino Community Center has art in the school programs in Beechview and McKeesport elementary schools.  Our students “travel” to some of the Latino countries in their Spanish class at SOY Pgh, and express the culture through painting.  This project is: “Viajado por América Latina,” “Traveling through Latin America.”
