The Mr. Roboto Project is a cooperative-owned, volunteer-run, all-ages DIY space and art gallery located at 5106 Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh. Since reopening in 2021, it has continued a tradition of intimate shows, hosting a range of acts from early catalog bands to contemporary indie and punk performers.
