Arts funding in Pittsburgh has remained racially inequitable for nearly two decades
When Pittsburgh-based artist, educator and arts administrator Amber Epps started applying for jobs, she saved her rejection emails. “This will become art at some point,” she remembers thinking. “When you apply for 150 jobs and get four interviews — this is some sort of weird-ass art here.”
