Keeping the Arts Thriving
PNC Arts Alive
A multi-million dollar initiative through the PNC Foundation designed to support the visual and performing arts.
We believe that engagement in the arts enriches lives and builds stronger, more vibrant communities.
We know what art can do, how it changes perspectives and even changes lives. Similarly, the PNC Foundation has always believed that engagement in the arts enriches lives and builds stronger, more vibrant communities. That's why PNC Arts Alive was created.
PNC Arts Alive challenges visual and performing arts organizations to put forth their best, most original thinking in expanding audience participation and engagement. This commitment advances our mission of community development.
Since PNC Arts Alive debuted in 2009, we have awarded more than $21 million in grants to enterprising cultural organizations in Central Ohio, Southeast Florida, Greater Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey, Delaware and Greater St. Louis, through funding delivered by the PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. From classical music and film to dance and theater, we're committed to keeping the arts alive.
