THE PROGRAM GOAL WAS TO CREATE A FLUID, NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WITH AMPLE INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS THAT ALLOW FOR ARTISTIC SELF-DEVELOPMENT.DWAC HAS ALSO SUPPORTED MORE LOCAL PITTSBURGH ARTISTS THROUGH A PROGRAM CALLED "ART FOR AUGUST," WHERE IT ENGAGED TEN (10) ARTISTS TO COMMISSION ART PIECES INSPIRED BY AUGUST WILSON WHICH WERE UNVEILED AND PRESENTED TO THE COMMUNITY. THE EXHIBITION WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT IT BECAME A TRAVELING EXHIBIT AND RESULTED IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PARTNERS, SOME NEW, DISPLAYING THE ARTWORK ON DISPLAY IN THEIR SPACES. ALSO, THROUGH AN EMPHASIS ON ARTIST DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR IN PARTNERSHIPS, DWAC HAS LAUNCHED INITIATIVES SUCH AS THE AUGUST WILSON HOUSE FELLOWSHIP AND ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS WITH BOTH DUQUESNE UNIVERSITY AND THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH.
