The Carol R. Brown Creative Achievement Awards program, supported in part by The Heinz Endowments in partnership with The Pittsburgh Foundation, is guided by a shared belief in artistic excellence, creative development and the need for continuous career advancement.

In the tradition of the Creative Achievement Awards created by Carol Brown during her tenure as president of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, two grants will be awarded every two years: one to an established artist and one to an emerging artist living and working in the southwestern Pennsylvania region. The Carol R. Brown Creative Achievement Awards are not project grants; rather, they are awards in recognition of exemplary artistic achievements and the promise of future work.
