An Outdoor Collection of Mixed Media Sculptures by Local Artists

The arts are alive and on display year round in downtown Pittston as seen along the city’s Art Loop Trail. This walkable space, located behind and around the Pittston Memorial Library, is a menagerie of sculpted artwork. More then twenty welded steel, found object, carved granite and cast iron creations come together to showcase the city’s vibrant art scene.

Visit the trail, check out the impressive murals throughout the downtown, visit a Main Street art gallery or take part in the city’s Second Friday Art Walk monthly through September.

There are lots of reasons to visit Pittston and its booming downtown. From shops to restaurants, Pittston is having an epic resurgence and the arts are no exception. Explore the thriving art community and support local artists in NEPA along the Art Loop Trail.
