Come for the art. Leave feeling connected.
A night to experience the arts—and each other.
It’s a chance to step outside your usual circle, discover something unexpected, and connect with someone you may never have crossed paths with otherwise. Artists, arts supporters, community leaders, neighbors, and friends come together for an evening filled with creativity, conversation, and experiences that remind us just how much art shapes the place we call home.
You might hear a story that stays with you. Discover an artist you didn’t know. Run into an old friend. Meet someone new. Or experience a form of art you’ve never encountered before.
That’s the heart of Pulse. A room full of people, perspectives, and creativity—coming together to celebrate the arts and the connections they make possible across Northwest Pennsylvania.
Feel the Pulse.
Come experience the creative heartbeat of our region. Bring a friend, meet someone new, and spend a night surrounded by the art and people that make Northwest Pennsylvania extraordinary.

Be Part of the Pulse.
We’re thrilled to have you as part of Pulse: The Creative Heartbeat of NWPA! Share a few details below so we can recognize your support, welcome your guests, and make your Pulse experience seamless.
Missed the Beat Last Year?
Our first Pulse: The Creative Heartbeat of NWPA brought artists, arts supporters, community leaders, and neighbors together for a night celebrating the stories that shape our creative community.
At the center of the evening was Views: Concrete Canvas, a documentary by Jackie George and Alex LONESAV Staley capturing the artists, energy, and community behind Erie’s Views Festival. Throughout the night, guests experienced even more of our region’s creativity—from music and henna to globally inspired food, storytelling, and connections with the people helping move the arts forward.
Take a look back at where Pulse began—and get ready for what comes next.
