Making the Connections, The Sprout Fund
A city’s anniversary, a regional celebration
As part of a year-long celebration of Pittsburgh’s 250th anniversary, The Sprout Fund funded 100 diverse community projects in Southwestern Pennsylvania’s 14 counties. This 176-page anthology documents these innovative grassroots projects through a surprising collection of images—details, broad vistas, portraits, artwork—and Justin Hopper’s lucid, accessible text. Letterpressed county names fill the front cover, providing an apt visual metaphor for the deep and broad reach of Sprout’s effort.
