About Us

Who We Are

The Creative Learning Network provides Allegheny County teaching artists with opportunities to connect, create content, learn together, and grow as professional arts educators.

Arts Ed Collaborative

We collaborate with educators to unlock the transformative power of the arts. Established in 1998, Arts Ed Collaborative evolved from the regional Arts Education Congress in Pittsburgh, where concerned constituents identified a need for coordinated efforts to sustain arts education in the region. Since that time, AEC has worked to form deep relationships with educators.

The Legacy Arts Project

The mission of the Legacy Arts Project, Inc. is to preserve the history and traditions of African art as represented throughout the diaspora through education, instruction and interactions. The organization strives to share the presentation of art throughout the community in order to inspire the upliftment of individuals within the urban neighborhoods of Pittsburgh.

APOST

Allegheny Partners for Out-of-School Time (APOST) is a partnership of funders, intermediaries and providers dedicated to building a quality Out-of-School Time (OST) System that will contribute to the healthy successful development of young people as they progress through their school years, graduate from high school and enter into adulthood.

What we do

Since our launch in March of 2020, the Creative Learning Network has offered rapid response initiatives to support teaching artists and creative learning organizations through funding opportunities, professional learning, and opportunities to connect with youth. Resulting projects made #ArtsLearningAtHome content available for youth, families, and educators. As our community of arts educators continues to evolve and change, so will the work we do to support them.
