Artists with strong connections to the Hill District are invited to apply for a new mural opportunity at Citizens Live at The Wylie, Pittsburgh’s newest music venue.
This 4,000 capacity venue is named in tribute to Wylie Avenue, a historic center for music and nightlife in the Hill District. The facility is scheduled to open in the latter half of 2026.
This opportunity is open to any artist who lives and works in the 13-county region of Southwestern Pennsylvania. Applicants must demonstrate strong connections to the Hill District. The final mural design should celebrate the history of music in the neighborhood and its impact, past and present.
This opportunity is being managed by Shiftworks Community + Public Arts on behalf of Live Nation.
Shiftworks will hold two information sessions and a work session with BOOM Concepts for interested artists:
In-person: Wednesday, October 15, 2025 at Nafasi on Centre. Registration for this session is
