  • Urban Garden Party Fancy and Free Events

    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.
