Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's mural scene draws on its industrial history and its neighborhoods' distinct personalities. Lawrenceville's Butler Street has become a canvas for commissioned and grassroots work alike, while the Hill District carries a rich tradition of Black public art that stretches back to the jazz era.
Featured Artists
All artists →Marcus Penn
Hill District native whose large-format portraits celebrate the neighborhood's Black cultural heritage and jazz history. His work on Centre Avenue documents Pittsburgh's legacy as a center of Black intellectual and artistic life during the Great Migration era — Crawford Grill, the Hill, and its people.
Clara Durst
Pittsburgh-based muralist and industrial designer known for architectural-scale works that incorporate the city's steel-town imagery — bridges, rivers, mills — reframed through an optimistic lens. Has worked extensively in the Strip District and along the Allegheny riverfront.
Aaron Dysart
Lawrenceville-based artist whose abstract street murals helped define the neighborhood's arts identity in the 2010s. His Butler Street pieces blend geometric abstraction and loose gestural mark-making that echoes Pittsburgh's topography — the grid laid over hills, the right angles interrupted by rivers.
