Case Study: Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council superconnects Pittsburgh’s arts ecosystem with EcoMap Discover

Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council saves staff hours by automating monthly opportunity discovery with EcoMap Discover

The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council, under CEO Patrick Fisher, faced the challenge of an arts ecosystem with an abundance of resources and events but a critical lack of visibility and awareness. This made it difficult for artists and the public to find opportunities and engage, while the Council itself was spending excessive staff time manually compiling this information. To address this, they partnered with vendor EcoMap Technologies to implement EcoMap Discover, aiming to automate the discovery of resources and events.

EcoMap Technologies provided a solution by automating the data mining process to find and compile relevant resources, opportunities, and a comprehensive calendar of events for the Greater Pittsburgh area. This freed up staff time for more strategic work and created a centralized, one-stop shop for ecosystem information. The result is a more democratized access to the arts, helping to raise Pittsburgh's profile as an attractive city for artists to live and work. EcoMap Technologies enabled the Council to fully realize its new role as a superconnector within the ecosystem.
