About Us

The Arts Greenhouse is a free hip-hop music education program serving Pittsburgh teens through the resources of Carnegie Mellon. Thus far, this goal has been met through music technology classes, music recording projects, workshops on special topics relating to hip-hop, and performances that bring socially conscious artists to Pittsburgh.

Currently the Arts Greenhouse leads music technology classes at Carnegie Mellon, guides recording sessions with the School of Music, and teaches workshops around the Pittsburgh area. Pittsburgh teens, ages 13 to 19, are welcome to attend. Participants are invited record music for the Arts Greenhouse mixtape series, which features positive and conscious rap songs by teens. The Arts Greenhouse reserves a non-exclusive right to distribute all music created with the program for promotional purposes, or for fund raising.

Classes are on Saturdays, from 1:30 to 4:30pm, in Margaret Morrison Hall, room 119A. Click here for more info and a map.

Workshops take place once to twice a month at various locations, check our calendar for dates and venues.
