Our Work

Partnership with Daily Bread

5450 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15206

From its earliest days, Danny Devine Studio established an ongoing partnership with Daily Bread, creating one of the organization’s most important and enduring community relationships.

The partnership builds upon Danny Devine’s longstanding connection with Daily Bread, where he created original hand-drawn designs and worked in the shop over the years. Following Danny’s passing, that relationship evolved into a lasting collaboration dedicated to preserving and sharing his artistic legacy.

Serving as an incubator for Danny Devine Studio, Daily Bread became the first permanent location where visitors could regularly experience and support the organization’s mission. Danny Devine Studio clothing, art prints, and other merchandise have remained continuously available within the shop.

Beyond its role as a retail partner, Daily Bread has hosted annual birthday celebrations, exhibitions, artist showcases, educational programs, and community events that have helped shape the growth of Danny Devine Studio.
