The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a nonprofit organization focused on the performing arts, based in Pittsburgh and founded in 1984. Its mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block district known as the Cultural District. As one of downtown Pittsburgh's largest property owners, it manages about one million square feet and has restored historic theaters, built new performance venues, and developed public art and riverfront spaces. The Cultural District is described as one of the country’s largest land masses curated by a single nonprofit arts organization, reflecting the Trust’s central role in the city’s arts landscape.

The organization uses the arts to support urban redevelopment, operating through public-private partnerships that connect arts programming with broader urban improvement. In 2026 it partnered with local institutions to stage events and advance public space projects, including the Pitt Block Party at Arts Landing organized with University of Pittsburgh Athletics and related partners, and a Riverlife initiative completing the Upper Promenade at Allegheny Riverfront Park. These activities illustrate how the Trust leverages its Cultural District to engage communities, visitors, and city spaces in cultural programming.
