ARTISTS IMAGE RESOURCE:

Artists Image Resource is an artist run, non-profit printmaking studio located in an urban neighborhood on the Northside of Pittsburgh, PA. The studio serves as a broad-based print and imaging resource whose purpose is to integrate the creation of fine art printwork with innovative educational programs that explore the creative process.

In 1996, Artists Image Resource was created to serve professional artists in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region. Since then, AIR has created numerous outreach activities and partnerships that serve the community. AIR supports entrepreneurs and other makers with "off the street" access to print and imaging services and facilities. AIR now supports cultural work both in and outside of our region.

AIR receives operating support from the Heinz Endowments, The Pittsburgh Foundation, The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Allegheny Regional Asset District. AIR also has received funding from The Milton Fine Foundation, The Laurel Foundation, The Hillman Foundation, The McCune Foundation, The Grable Foundation and others.
