Northside Public Art Tour

The Office of Public Art invites ALL cyclists to join in on a public art tour in Pittsburgh’s beautiful Northside neighborhood. This easy, mostly flat ride will begin next to the Carnegie Science Center at Langley Observatory clock, a sculpture by R.M. Fisher, and continue past the memorials on the Northshore. Ride will pause at Allegheny Landing to discuss the conservation of the park’s sculptures, and continue towards the Children’s museum to visit some contemporary and historic artworks.

Loop around the Northside for more public art gems and finish back at the Science Center. Bring a picnic and eat alongside the river with fellow bicyclists!

Contact Laura Zorch at opaeducation@pittsburghartscouncil.org for more information. ride starts at 6 pm.
