Together, Citizens and The Andy Warhol Museum aim to empower
aspiring artists and promote the region’s vibrant arts and culture
scene, creating a stronger economic future for Pittsburgh
residents. The partnership makes Citizens the largest corporate
supporter of The Pop District’s public art campaign, as well as the
largest corporate supporter of The Warhol Academy’s creative
economy fellowships for diverse young professionals.
"Citizens is committed to supporting the communities in which we
live and work, and we believe that arts and culture are not only
the foundation of a strong community, but also drivers of economic
strength,” said Brendan Coughlin, Vice Chairman and Head of
Consumer Banking at Citizens. “By joining forces with The Andy
Warhol Museum, a beacon of artistic innovation, we look forward to
fostering the creativity and diversity that will fuel the continued
growth of Pittsburgh’s workforce and cultural infrastructure.”
Through The Warhol Academy, talented individuals are given
fellowship opportunities to enhance their skills, explore their
creative potential, and contribute to the rich cultural fabric of
the region. With Citizens support, 28 new fellowships will be
created for aspiring young artists in the areas of digital content
creation, filmmaking and post-production.
Coinciding with the support of The Warhol Academy is the
unveiling of Mikael Owunna's Anatomy of the Human which explores
the intersections of technology, art, and African cosmologies.
Owunna, a local artist who serves as the president of the City of
Pittsburgh’s Public Art and Civic Design Commission, has captivated
audiences with their unique vision and artistic expression. The
installation promises to be a thought-provoking and visually
stunning addition to the city's public art landscape.
"I am ecstatic to work with The Andy Warhol Museum on this
commission for The Pop District, and it’s particularly meaningful
to me as a queer artist from Pittsburgh,” said Mikael Owunna. “I
took inspiration from Warhol's layered silk screen techniques to
create a piece entitled Anatomy of the Human, which presents the
four spiritual elements of the human soul as described in West
African Igbo spiritual science. I cannot wait for the public to see
this work and for everything to come at The Pop District."
Citizens’ commitment to the local arts scene and its dedication
to community development align seamlessly with the mission of The
Andy Warhol Museum. By joining forces, both organizations will work
together to nurture the arts and promote inclusivity, ensuring that
the legacy of Andy Warhol continues to inspire and resonate with
audiences for generations to come.
"We are thrilled to partner with Citizens to support the
creative and professional development of young, diverse
professionals in Pittsburgh," said Patrick Moore, Director of The
Andy Warhol Museum. "The Warhol Academy fellowships offer a unique
opportunity for participants to gain valuable skills and expertise,
and we are grateful for Citizens’ support in making this program
possible."
