About The Pittsburgh A&E Book

Hello and welcome to the fifth edition of The Pittsburgh A&E Book.

For those of you new to the project, The Pittsburgh A&E Book is the region’s only professional directory to Pittsburgh’s arts and entertainment community/industry. The database traces directly back to the days when I was working with entities like the Joseph Horne Company and the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, maintaining a “groups file” that I would reference almost daily. As other people learned about it, they would often turn to me for the information. Eventually, this information went into a formal database that led to The A&E Book.

The first A&E Book was published in 2001. Subsequent editions came out in 2002, 2003 and 2006. This one has been developed to cover the years 2009-2011.

With The A&E Book, anyone in the arts/entertainment field can locate whatever resources he/she needs. Whether you are a theatre company looking for props, a painter seeking arts supplies and exhibit space; a festival wanting a band or a filmmaker needing editing services, you can find it here.

This edition comes with some great new features. One is a “quick guide” on pages 6 and 7. It will help you located relevant resources much easier. The other new feature is a stand-alone web site at www.pittsburghaebook.com where you can access a free PDF of The Pittsburgh A&E Book.

On another note, please understand that this is a one man project. I handle everything myself from updating the database to designing the layout. As such, mistakes are not only possible, but probable. I’d appreciate your being gracious about it.

Thanks,
James A. Richards
