Inside Out is back for a second year! Our free summer outdoor event series celebrates Pittsburgh’s rich cultural landscape with performances, live music, art-making, food, and drinks!
Inside Out takes place from Saturday, June 4 through Saturday, August 13 in the museum’s Sculpture Court in an immersive pavilion by artist Rafael Domenech, commissioned for the 58th Carnegie International.
On Thursday nights from 5 to 9 p.m., Pittsburgh’s expansive nightlife scene takes over the Sculpture Court. A lineup of some of the city’s most dynamic DJs transforms the Sculpture Court into a can’t-miss happy hour destination for friends and dancing during the week. On Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., everyone is invited to enjoy performances from regional arts organizations and performers, soak in summer sounds from bands and DJs, grab a bite from local food trucks, and get creative with artists and art-making.
Inside Out Night, a special 21+ party under the stars, will take place on Friday, July 15. STAYCEE PEARL dance project & Soy Sos will present CIRCLES: Going Off, a dance party version of their full-length choreographic performance. Layering movement, visual arts, MCs, DJs, electronics, and a live original score, CIRCLES: Going Off invites everyone to join the celebration! Registration is encouraged for Inside Out Night but not required. Registration will open on May 11.
This year, Pittsburgh’s Trace Brewing is the official brewery partner of Inside Out and is selling a curated selection of craft brews at each event. Additionally, each event will feature a different local food truck with bites available for purchase, including Alberta’s Pizza, El Rincon Oaxaqueño, Caribbean Vybz, Soul Biscuit, M&M Royal Touch, Streets on the Fly, Two and a Half Greeks, ATU, and Hermes.
Inside Out events are FREE and Thursday and Saturday events are open to audiences of all ages. Make a day of it and reserve your timed tickets to visit the museum before or after you enjoy Inside Out!

58th Carnegie International at Inside Out
Cuban American artist Rafael Domenech (b. 1989) unveils a site-specific pavilion housed in the museum’s Sculpture Court, commissioned for the 58th Carnegie International, during the opening day of Inside Out on June 4. Performers and artists participating in Inside Out will respond to and layer on to his installation with their own artistic practices and expressions.
Taking the shape of an ellipse, the installation invokes Cuban poet Severo Sarduy who believed that the form represents a de-centering of knowledge production and expands intercultural elasticity. Made from everyday construction scaffolding and mesh that are ubiquitous signs of urban redevelopment, the pavilion further envelops the museum as a site of production.
On June 4, July 9, and August 6, from 1 to 2:30 p.m., visitors can meet the artist and create their own artworks in a series of workshops facilitated by Domenech.
Health & Safety
The museum will continue to monitor state and CDC guidelines and update its health and safety policies to ensure the safety of all visitors and staff.
Support
Generous support is provided by The Benter Foundation.
Carnegie Museum of Art is supported by The Heinz Endowments and Allegheny Regional Asset District. Carnegie Museum of Art receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
