Donate to the Brew House...
On September 4, 2009, The Brew House Association, Inc. (BHA) received a letter from the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Building Inspection (BBI) citing various code violations that force BHA to vacate its building effective September 19, 2009. The BHA hopes that this is a temporary setback in what has been a long-term rehabilitation project of a home for artists and arts organizations.
Many talented artists and organizations call the Brew House home and have dedicated thousands of hours to keeping this building open. We have enlisted the help of our loyal membership, as well as design professionals and construction and real estate experts to remediate all violations set forth in the BBI's letter within the applicable timeframe allowed in order to avoid the displacement of the artists and programs that reside here.
While many of the violations cited by the BBI can be corrected with minimal funding and labor, certain violations will require a substantial investment of a minimum of $50,000. As a small 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization, the task of raising these funds is challenging, however, the BHA's Board of Directors is committed to protecting its residents' and numerous supporters' investments in the organization and will work tirelessly over the coming months to raise the necessary additional funds.
We can’t imagine Pittsburgh’s South Side without the Brew House. Having a building of this size populated with energetic creative artists and equally skillful and talented organizations brings a vibrancy to the community that will be deeply missed should the Brew House become silent and empty. That is why we are asking for your support. The greatest way that anyone can help is by making a donation now.
