I’ve been meaning to interview my friend Anukul (the voice of buskarma these days) about his involvement in Pittsburgh’s Art in Transit program, but it seems that WQED has saved me the trouble:

Art in Transit is a program that turns Port Authority transit vehicles into mobile galleries by filling unused ad placard space inside buses and trains with works from local artists. It’s a great example of how a small amount of funding (from local arts & philanthropy groups) along with the efforts of passionate volunteers can improve the transit experience.

This year’s submission deadline is August 14th, so if you’re an artist in southwestern Pennsylvania, you still have a couple weeks to put your works in the running!
