Appalachian Junction Summer Concert Series - Sponsorship

Summer 2021 Rolling Pepperoni will host a bi-monthly outdoor concert series at the newly renovated Terminal Building in Pittsburgh’s Strip District featuring emerging performing and visual artists from Pittsburgh and across Appalachia.

Each concert will be curated to represent the eclectic creative and cultural diversity around the city and across the region and aims to connect aligned artists to one another, performing alongside each other. Each show features 3 performers/groups, half local Pittsburgh artists and half Central and Southern Appalachian artists who span a wide array of genres from hip-hop, rap, and spoken word to singer-songwriter, folk, and old time, to R&B, jazz, and anything else. There is also potential for local and regional visual artists to display and sell work during the events. We hope this series can become an opportunity for young artists in Pittsburgh and across Appalachia whose communities’ creative, artistic, and cultural impact have so often been overlooked, divested from, and abandoned. We see this series as an opportunity to bring young people into relationship with each other across geography to build connection, collaboration, and solidarity with one another.

We hope you will support this regional initiative by sponsoring Appalachian Junction Summer Concert Series. Sponsors provide funding for the equitable payment to each artist performing and travel and lodging stipends for regional artists. Each level of sponsorship comes with its own perks, listed below. Don’t let the sponsorship levels limit you! Donations of any amount are welcome and deeply appreciated.
