The new year brings new creative opportunities to spread joy with our Random PAWSitivity project.

Get inspired to make and share mini-artworks at our first PAWSitivity workshop on January 25, and find out more about this project.

Your creativity can brighten the days of strangers across your campus and community!

2020 was a horror show, but 2021 is shaping up to be a scream of a different kind.

• Join a student documentary screening on the early days of indy horror pioneer George Romero. 
• Unearth treasures from the Romero Archival Collection.
• Go beyond the Bride of Frankenstein to explore fearsome women.
• Write poetry inspired by ideas and scenes from queer horror. 

Keep your eyes peeled for more terrifying programs coming soon!

Check out our spring 2021 workshop schedule! Learn how to make your own ink, bind a book, upcycle plant pots for your spring garden, marble paper, and much, much more.

From writing to sculpture, audio production to printmaking, we have programs to help you develop your creative skills or learn new ones!

Have a Pitt- or Pittsburgh-related story that could make a compelling movie, TV show, or other new media project? The Center for Creativity's Pittsburgh Lens wants to hear from you for its PITTch initiative.

Some submitted projects will receive free professional analysis and evaluation and may be selected for one-on-one workshops or featured at a spring event. 

Deadline for submission is February 15. For details and resources, or to submit a project, see our webpage!

The submission deadline for the outdoor exhibition, Don’t Look Away: Because Mattering is the Minimum, is February 1.

Check out the guidelines and submit your work. Creators whose work is chosen for exhibition will receive $500!
