MISSION:
Offroute Art’s primary function is to support artists aged 16-24 by creating and engaging these individuals in an inclusive community that connects their art, energy, and vision with a greater audience. We believe that the power of art combined with youth energy is a force for good in the world. By giving young adults support and belonging, community organically begins to grow and expand. 
OUR WORK:
  • partner with businesses and organizations to display and sell the work of artists (ages 16 - 24)
  • connect with artists from all backgrounds, who are driven to create original pieces of art part-time, full-time, or sometimes.
  • build connections between artists and a broader audience.
  • break down barriers between art, accessibility, and affordability.
  • support emerging artists from all backgrounds and identities by giving them another platform to connect to a wider audience.
  • reuse materials to the fullest extent possible, by prioritizing reused or donated materials.
  • ensure artists always receive 100% of their art sales.​
WHERE WE WORK:
  • Offroute primarily operates in Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh, PA) and Connecticut (Middletown & New Haven), with occasional pop-ups in New Jersey and New York. 
  • We work where there is need and where our community can best support our artists. 
  • The majority of our artists are from PA and CT but we accept art from across the US. Everyone is local somewhere!
