Artist Micro-commissions – Gallery

To support local artists and designers during COVID-19, the Askwith Kenner Global Languages and Cultures Room created the Micro-Commissions Project. We invited eight CMU students and local Pittsburgh artists to create artworks to be displayed within the room and on a new digital projection installation on the glass wall near the front of the room. Artists were inspired by our themes of language, culture, identity, and personal stories. Each artist had the freedom to choose any medium.

Please enjoy the artwork and designs from the eight wonderful artists. Click on the link below each artwork to learn about the artists’ inspirations and thoughts behind each piece,
