Capital Campaign - ALMA

ALMA | LEWIS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Now more than ever, the voices of Black artists and art’s ability to communicate across racial, social, and economic divides are essential. Art is an instrumental catalyst for important, and often necessary, dialogue. This has always been at the core of ALMA | LEWIS’s mission and programming.

The year 2026 will be one of significant change and possibility for ALMA | LEWIS as we move to a new, larger, street-front location that will triple our existing footprint and provide increased public visibility of our organization and mission.

SUPPORT COMMUNITY

Being street-front along a busy traffic corridor, our new location – adjacent to our current location – will be highly visible and easily accessible, making it a focal point for visitors to the North Point Breeze neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

Nearly triple our existing footprint, the new location will double the size of our gallery and exhibition space, allowing us to welcome a larger audience at our events, as well as expanding our outreach by enabling us to host school, church, and senior groups to ALMA | LEWIS.

SUPPORT ARTISTS AND SCHOLARS

This new space will have two artist studios, giving us the ability to support twice as many early to mid-career artists representing the African diaspora through our Artist Fellowship program.

And with the building of a permanent, secure library, we will be able to welcome scholars, artists, and authors to The Black Archive, our non-circulating collection of unique books, catalogs, artwork, and research-based materials centering Black arts, culture, and history.

SUPPORT OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

As we embark on this exciting next chapter, we invite you to join us and donate to our ALMA | LEWIS Capital Campaign. Your generosity ensures not only the expansion of our physical space, but also our ability to engage with a wider audience, create new opportunities for deep engagement with place, history, and community, as well as better prioritize long-term relationships with artists.
