Press Release: Art All Night Pittsburgh is back in full force this April 26-27, 2025 starting at 4 pm and continuously providing enjoyment until 2 pm! We are moving back to a traditional industrial-type facility in a whopping 53,000 sq. ft. location at 929 Beaver Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15233. The new site of Art All Night 28 was the former home of Donahoe’s grocery store distribution warehouse, built in 1926 in the Chateau area of the Northside. This iconic building was recently the site of a popular TV series, Mayor of Kingstown!
Mark your calendars!

What to expect:
🎨 LOCAL ART – Typically, nearly 1000 pieces of original art are displayed gallery-style for all to enjoy.
🎵 PERFORMANCE – Music of all types, dance, spoken word, you name it. With stages running throughout the event, there’s something for everyone.
🖌 LIVE ON-SITE ART – Experience several amazing artists painting live during the event. A live in-person auction is held on Sunday at noon, where you could own an original piece of art and benefit Art All Night’s annual production.
🧸 CHILDREN’S ACTIVITIES – The Children’s Area at Art All Night is where pint-sized Picassos and mini Monets come to play! Packed with hands-on fun, this creative corner will include a mural wall, ‘Cardboard City’, craft sculpture, and the infamous make-your-own-buttons.
✅ INTERACTIVE ART – Unique installations that encourage you to unlock your own creativity. Artists from all over Pittsburgh will be crafting stories on the spot, showcasing exclusive games, and more that cannot be hung in the gallery or placed on a table.
🛒 MERCH – Arrive early to score some highly sought-after, original mystery art for $5, limited-edition T-shirts, stickers, and more. Profits go directly towards funding the event for years to come.
Want to get involved?
VOLUNTEER! Art All Night is 100% volunteer-run. We need a lot of hands on the floor to bring the show to life in person. Note: lots of new student- and mobility-friendly volunteer options this year! Visit the volunteer section of our website. Registration begins early April.
When we say Art All Night, we mean it!
Over the course of 22 hours, visitors will be immersed in culture, creativity, music, performances, interactive installations, children’s activities, the chance to bid on art, dance, and have an overall unique, amazing experience on Pittsburgh’s Northside.
