PARK(ing) DAY 2019

Today, it's just a parking space . . . but what COULD it be?

Every September, people around the world turn parking spaces into “PARK(ing)” spaces for a day: temporary parklets, gardens, art studios, performance venues, creative interventions, social spaces, and more.

This year, the entire University of Pittsburgh
system is joining the fun.

How can your organization or department transform an ordinary parking space? Create a stage and fill it with performances? Build a temporary interactive art installation? Design a meditative space, or a mini making studio, or a gym? The possibilities are limited only by your imagination, and by a few creative constraints: everything must be temporary (think chalk, not paint) and cleaned up at the end of the day, there’s no access to electricity, and you have a space approximately 8’ x 18’ to work with.

Pitt-Greensburg organizations or departments, registered by September 17 can receive $25 towards supplies, compliments of the Office of Student Involvement & Student Center.

FREE hot dogs, chips, and drinks
will be available during the festivities.
