Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival | Juried Visual Art Exhibition 2024
Furry Friends, the 2024 edition of the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival’s annual Juried Visual Art Exhibition will celebrate the diverse ways in which animals enrich our lives, challenge our perspectives, and inspire our creativity. The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust welcomes submissions of artworks that explore the profound and complex connections between humans and animals, be they companions, pets, wildlife, or creatures of myth or imagination.
Each year, esteemed jurors select artists from hundreds of submissions to exhibit their work in the exhibition. Additionally, six prizes are awarded including the prestigious Best in Show award which comes with a $2500 cash prize. Past recipients of the Best in Show award include: Evangeline Mensah-Agyekum Scott Hunter (2022), Ana Armengod Ulric Joseph (2019).

ABOUT THIS BUILDING
A vital component of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s Visual Arts programming, SPACE presents five to six exhibitions annually, offering emerging artists an opportunity to advance projects in a supportive setting. While SPACE does not actively commission new works, many artists that exhibit work at SPACE are provided with resources, labor, technology and guidance, as well as funding, to execute their ideas.
