Join our TEDxPittsburgh Adventure as we take attendees around the city to get a taste of where Pittsburgh has been and where we need to go to produce a better community for all.
Stop 1 (and where we will meet): 2:45 - 4:00 p.m.
The Andy Warhol Museum
What role can museums play in the 21st century? What if in examining the creative and cultural landscape created by Andy Warhol, we find a roadmap to use qualitative thinking and empathy to create positive experience, the way that Warhol created art on canvas or screen print.

Who we'll hear from: Dan Law, Director of Development,
Stop 2: The Carnegie Museum of Art (4:30 - 5:30 p.m.)
What is Pittsburgh's legacy for communities of color? How can we move forward making our city, and all cities, more welcoming for immigrants, refugees and all residents? A dialogue with community builders and archivist will help to shine light on these topics.
