Pedantic Arts Open Call for Summer and Fall 2027 Terms

Pedantic Arts brings together an artist, a curator, and a writer under one roof for a collaborative arts experience, re-embracing the impact that education, study, and structured contemplation can have on artistic output; it is focused on fostering artistic connections rather than production. Running for a period of 4 weeks, participants are immersed in the creative communities of Pittsburgh, with weekly programming including lectures, dinners, studio visits, and museum tours, and each resident assigned a Pittsburgh-based guide working in a similar field. Pedantic additionally hosts the Pedantic Research Grant, a one- or two-week independent opportunity inviting a visual artist, curator, or writer to conduct self-motivated, Pittsburgh-related research.
