About atithi
Atithi Studios… Where Creativity Connects!
Located in the heart of the Sharpsburg neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA, Atithi Studios is a one stop shop for artists of any & all disciplines who may be looking for community, opportunity and so much more! The three floor building is dedicated to arts & entertainment with private studios on the second & third floors and a gallery which doubles as a flexible event venue on the first floor.
Our mission is to build a happier community through engagement with the arts. We serve as a creative hub for artists to gather together, while also investing in artists so they have the tools, connections & support they need to excel in their practice, in the hopes they will reinvest that energy back into the community.
Atithi, Bengali for guest, is an ode to Rabindranath Tagore’s story about a boy who chooses the life of a wanderer. It’s a gift to the artist community of Pittsburgh — respite for the artist soul. A place to give & take; to inspire & be inspired
