AGENCY was founded in 2019 by artist Tina Dillman, as an attempt to provide needed support to the local artists and non-profits of Pittsburgh, PA, and beyond. Ms. Dillman has worked in the arts sector for over 18 years. As a passionate thought leader she cares deeply about the well-being of her community, and believes in order to have a healthy eco-system we all must rise together.
