Celebrate artistic sustainability throughout Pittsburgh from September 9 through October 9 with the debut of the Re:NEW Festival!

Held in a city calling attention to its own transformation from a polluted steel town to a global leader in environmentalism, Re:NEW is a must-experience event for the ecologically conscious, artistically motivated, architecturally savvy and those just looking for a vibrant fall adventure!
Don’t miss the highlight of the Re:NEW Festival, the North American premiere of Drap-Art, also called the International Festival of Recycled Art.
