Arts In: Renee Piechocki

If you are in the public art game, more than likely you know Renee Piechocki. For the past 13 years, Renee has been the founding Director of the Office of Public Art here in Pittsburgh. She has recently decided to hand the crown over to Sallyann Kluz and spend her time traveling the world and concentrating on her own art. We have a very open conversation about her childhood, what brought her to Pittsburgh and how she got to be so damn awesome.
