The Pittsburgh Penguins have unveiled a new chapter of their ‘Drawn to the Game’ Community and Heritage series for the 2026‑27 season, a program that weaves art into the fabric of the team’s schedule to celebrate the city’s cultural mosaic.
Stipends and Perks for Creators
Each selected artist receives a $2,000 stipend, online and in‑game acknowledgment of their work, a dedicated social‑media feature, and two tickets to the corresponding game. In addition, the creators are granted two passes to an all‑inclusive lounge that offers a curated chef menu, stadium fare, and complimentary house beer and wine.
From Nine to Eleven Nights
Building on the success of the previous season, the Penguins have extended the series from nine to eleven heritage nights, giving more groups the opportunity to be honored. The expansion underscores the organization’s commitment to deepening its ties with the community and to showcasing a broader spectrum of cultural expression throughout the regular schedule.
The program not only enriches the fan experience but also provides tangible support to local creators, reinforcing Pittsburgh’s reputation as a hub of artistic innovation within professional sports. As the team moves forward, the ‘Drawn to the Game’ series is poised to become a model for how athletics can amplify community voices and celebrate heritage in meaningful ways.
