About Offroute Art
Offroute Art is a Pittsburgh-based arts organization supporting U.S.-based artists ages 16–24 by creating opportunities to show and sell their work.
We partner with businesses and community organizations to bring emerging artists’ work into public spaces and connect young creatives with a wider audience. Artists who work with Offroute set their own prices, keep 100% of their sales, and are paid within 48 hours.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support young artists through an inclusive, artist-first community rooted in creativity, collaboration, and equity. We believe youth creativity can shape culture and inspire meaningful change, and we work to provide artists with visibility, support, and a sense of belonging.
Our Values
Offroute is guided by inclusion, equity, and respect. We welcome artists of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experience levels, and we aim to be open, supportive, and easy to work with. We believe in racial, economic, and gender equity and reflect these values through our partnerships and community involvement.
