Future Tenant is now taking applications for two window installations in the coming months. The next install would be over the holiday, which is great exposure for artists! We focus on innovative, local artists, and the window installation is a great opportunity to get noticed. Please, only very serious inquiries/applications need apply. Applications that are not complete will not be considered.
Detailed information below: **** Artistic Statement Future Tenant seeks to unite emerging artists from Pittsburgh and the surrounding area with community audiences in a non-traditional atmosphere that promotes new and unique ways of experiencing art.

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has boomed in recent years, and Downtown is now flooded with galleries. The most unique specimen is Future Tenant, a dusty, cave-like arts space that bears exposed ceilings, punched-through walls and, alas, no restroom. Working in an office that looks much like a bomb shelter from the London Blitz, the Future Tenant staff attracts dozens of artists a year to its rugged space, showing paintings, murals, installations and live bands -- an ambitious revue for a gaggle of twentysomething MBA students.
