The art scene has always been strong in the City of Pittsburg, exploding in recent years. Now a new movement is underway to use that art to develop the community. “Here recently we’ve had a wonderful movement of artists in the area. Really the groundwork has already been laid,” said Christa Cunningham, Pittsburg Artwalk President. So at Monday’s Downtown Advisory Board Meeting, Cunningham presented the idea to establish an arts district in Pittsburg. “The idea is to encompass our downtown area. That would be pretty much from the Farmer’s Market Pavillion, and then south to Jolly Fox, west to the library, and then as far east as the Frisco Event Center and the new Fun Depot.” The effort is designed to help promote tourism through the local art scene that’s developing throughout downtown.
