The Original Magazine (also known as The Original) is a semiannual magazine covering the arts scene in Pittsburgh.[3] Founded in 2006 as a nonprofit organization, The Original is supported by the Sprout Fund, and grants from various departments at the University of Pittsburgh, and The Original Hot Dog Shop.[3] Printed copies are distributed free of charge throughout the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, including coffee shops, art galleries, and bookstores.[4] The staff, mostly students, numbers around 50.[2] The magazine publishers hold an annual "Arts and Crap Fair," allowing local artists to showcase and sell their work.[5]

Over 300 people attended the magazine's 2007 issue's release party.[6] The magazine's cover and table of contents design has received awards from the College Media Advisers.[2][4] The magazine was displayed by the Pittsburgh AIGA during CONTEXT 2007, its annual graphic design showcase.[4] In 2007, the University of Pittsburgh Student Government named The Original the "Best New Student Group."[4]
