Urban Garden Party Fancy and Free Events

June 17, 2010 Lindsay

urbangardenpartyFamily2010Over on the Northside, tucked into the Mexican War Steets is an old Mattress Factory that is now a museum which showcases works of art that incorporate the entire room.  From their website:

The Mattress Factory is a museum of contemporary art that exhibits room-sized works called installations. Created on site by artists from across the country and around the world, our unique exhibitions feature a variety of media that engage all of the senses.

Each June the Mattress Factory hosts an Urban Garden Party – a gala event to benefit the museum.  Tickets are still available.  Pittsburgh blogger James Foreman held a contest to win a ticket to the event – Win a Date With James.  While James’ date has already been selected – follow the Mattress Factory on Facebook and Twitter for more chances to win.

Urban Garden Party – Family and Community Day
Sunday, June 20, 2010 – Noon-5pm

One of the things that is great about the annual event is that the Mattress Factory extends the party all weekend long.  On Sunday – the Mattress Factory is open for FREE for everyone! Stop by the Mattress Factory on Sunday from Noon-5 to play outside and check out the museum.  Activities include – skateboarding, screen printing, jump rope and more.

Check out this video about the event:
