Creative Voter Registration Campaign: The Point Park Pierogi

Funded by the Center for Artistic Activism

Faculty advisor: D.T. Burns

Co-founders: Mady Thetard and Iliana Tomasa Sharp

The goal of this project was to engage college-aged voters by introducing a Pittsburgh-specific mascot into the sleuth of voter registration campaigns. We made appearances at a variety of campus events hosted by the Political Science Association of Point Park, the Student Government Association, and BridgeUSA. 

Our registrations efforts extended into social media through Instagram reels, in which we catered to the large performing arts population by making the pierogi dance!
