RADical DAYS
September - November 2020
RADical Days is an annual THANK YOU to Allegheny County taxpayers with free events, programming, and activities at our regional assets. As with everything in 2020, this year's RADical Days is a little different, with a mix of virtual and in-person events happening September through November. Check back throughout the fall as more events will continue to be added!
Allegheny Regional Asset District
For 25 years, the Allegheny Regional Asset District – RAD – has invested in Allegheny County's quality of life through financial support of libraries, parks and trails, arts and cultural organizations, regional attractions, sports and civic facilities, and public transit.
With half of the proceeds from Allegheny County's additional one percent sales and use tax, RAD has invested over $2 billion in our regional assets since its inception. An additional $2 billion has gone directly to the County and its 128 municipalities for property tax relief and local government services. RAD is a time-tested solution that works for the economy, for assets, for citizens, for municipalities – for all. RAD works here.

Virtual RADical Days @ Pittsburgh Concert Chorale
The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale introduces "Pairings with the PCC." In these videos, Music Director Susan Medley and Chorale Accompanist Bryan Sable reflect upon past PCC concerts (while drinking something that pairs well with the concert!). These light-hearted videos are the perfect way to spend a little time with the PCC when we can't be performing for you.

Virtual RADical Days @ Sweetwater Center for the Arts
Through the years, Sweetwater has been honored to present amazing artworks created by some of the most talented Black artists in our region for our annual MAVUNO Festival of African American Art and Culture. Because our gallery is closed, we are taking this opportunity to look back at the history of MAVUNO with the virtual exhibition, Black Art Matters: Revisiting 10 Years of MAVUNO Exhibitions.
