Pittsburgh Arts Center Owes Artists Money

The Pittsburgh Center for the Arts closed this week, owing a lot of money. “According to a federal tax return filed by the nonprofit, the center took in $1.9 million in revenue in 2002 but spent $2.8 million. Local artists, who founded the center in 1945, were dismayed to learn of its closing and frustrated because many of them have been trying for months to obtain payment for their work.”
