Welcome! We hope this guide helps you get started with your arts research.

The Frick Fine Arts Library is located in the Frick Fine Arts Building on 650 Schenley Drive, sharing the Frick Fine Arts Building with the University Art Gallery, the Department of the History of Art & Architecture, and the Department of Studio Arts.

While most of the collection is closed stacks, we welcome all visitors to the reading room, as well as the adjacent browsing room, where you can explore our collection of local and regional exhibition catalogs, how-to studio arts books, current art magazines and journals, zines, and comics. We also invite you to browse rotating thematic collections curated in collaboration with students and faculty. Anyone, including non-Pitt-affiliates, may look at a book in the library and/or use our scanners. Please feel free to request that a front desk staff member retrieve a book for you from the stacks by providing them with the call number from PittCat (highlighted below).

If you do not know a book's call number, our employees will be happy to help you locate the book with any information you may have.

We are are available to help with research queries, both drop-in or by appointment. For more in-depth questions, we encourage making an appointment by emailing uls-fineartslibrary@pitt.edu.
