Okay, here it is: Work of Art Awards

http://pittsburghartscouncil.org/workofartawards_finalist.htm

Creative Arts and Business Partnership Award recognizes a successful collaboration between an arts organization and a business that furthered the interests of both parties. This award is sponsored by BNY Mellon.

Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School (ToonSeum) & Gypsy Café, who partnered to host the Pittsburgh chapter of a world-wide movement that brings together artists, musicians, burlesque performers and unique models in a quirky, social atmosphere of drawing and imagination.

Passports Art Diversity Project & McCormack Baron Salazar, who collaborated to place original work by local artists in three McCormack, Baron, Salazar, Inc. housing sites-a model of how local developers can work with Pittsburgh artists to complete interior design projects.

Quantum Theatre & Seagate Technology, who created the Seagate Tech Circle of donors, in which Seagate committed to a financial match for donations by other tech-based companies, giving emerging companies a way to support and experience the arts in Pittsburgh.

Hmm. Not sure how we'll fare here as far as winning is concerned, but the recognition alone is worth it for me. Now I need to contact the food organizers (one of the peeps on the committee was a good friend of my little brother's in HS--aah, Pittsburgh!) and tell them we'll be in attendance so we might just be schlepping butlered food along with us....
