Nafasi on Centre

Nafasi on Centre is a creative home in the Hill District that supports artists, culture workers, and community members through events, productions and collaborative projects. The gallery features exhibitions that include visual art, installations, and community-based work that reflect the history and voices of the Hill District, Black Pittsburgh and African Diaspora. Nafasi also hosts performances, workshops, and conversations that encourage collective learning and cultural exchange. The space is available for rental, with flexible areas that accommodate meetings, rehearsals, and gatherings.

Nafasi on Centre is a project of the Hill Community Development Corporation (Hill CDC), created in collaboration with Hill District Artists focused on the Hill District Arts Plan. This effort grew out of the Greater Hill District Master Plan’s goal to "Build Upon the African American Cultural Legacy" in the community's redevelopment efforts. Through ongoing partnerships and community leadership, the Hill CDC stewards Nafasi as a space that honors the Hill District Diaspora which spans through Pittsburgh, the state, country and world. The Hill District is sacred land in Pittsburgh, and Nafasi is only one example of why.

Join us in this remarkable movement of rebuilding the cultural, commercial and innovation district in the heart of "The Hill".
