Who We Are

Our team is committed to the implementation of our mission. You can find our dedicated staff at the Art shack and about town running exciting art programs for kids, families, and adults.

During the summer you’ll find us at the Pittsburg Library and at community events reading stories, hosting art projects, and giving away free books to promote literacy through our Pittsburg Summer Reads program. 

We also support many community events including the Car Show and the Farmers' Market.

Supporting the efforts of local organizations that have a positive impact in our community, we seek to improve the quality of life and opportunities for the residents and businesses of Pittsburg.

Our outreach efforts include events that encourage reading.  Visit the Railroad Book Depot at 650 Railroad Avenue to find out more.

All thanks to the neighbors who have taken on these duties for us --  striving to bring more beauty into a world that desperately wants and needs all that it can get!

If you can, come to the City Council meeting, tonight, to show your appreciation.
