| Future Tenant, located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, is a project of Carnegie Mellon University's Institute for the Management of Creative Enterprises and is hosted at 819 Penn Avenue by The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust. The art space, which features alternative exhibitions and performances by emerging artists from the Carnegie Mellon University community and beyond, is managed by a team of students from the Master of Arts Management program, a joint program of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Fine Arts and the H. John Heinz, III School of Public Policy and Management. Mission Future Tenant provides a laboratory setting for artists, arts managers and audiences to explore the limits of the creative expression, presentation and interpretation of various art forms. Vision It is the vision of Future Tenant to become Pittsburgh’s destination for raw, innovative artistic experiences from across all visual, literary and performing disciplines. This destination will never be tied to any one physical venue, as Future Tenant will take up its work wherever there is access to an empty space. While it may not have a specific address in hand, the Pittsburgh audience will know that wherever Future Tenant gathers a group of artists, there can be found a constantly changing menu of vibrant, provocative new work. Patrons will clamor to learn of the next program, and emerging artists will fervently apply for the chance to launch their career though a show at Future Tenant. MAM students will compete for the opportunity to kick start their own careers through a complete management experience at Future Tenant. In time, the model of Future Tenant will replicate to provide more artists, managers and patrons with increased opportunities to thrive in a non-traditional artistic experience. Values In our artistic and managerial decisions, the staff and board of Future Tenant value:
