About

The Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh

The Mattress Factory is a research and development lab for artists. As a museum of contemporary art, it commissions new site-specific works, presents them to the widest possible audience, and maintains selected individual installations in a growing - and distinctive - permanent collection. The Mattress Factory’s physical and organizational environments have grown out of and in response to a central focus on the process of creativity. Professional artists, at varying stages in their careers, experiment with ideas and materials within an integrated residency and exhibition program. In spaces that function equally well as private working studios and as public exhibition spaces, each artist receives an uncommon level of curatorial support.
