FREE FOR MEMBERS
Everyone knows that music, art, community, and the outdoors are everything you need for the perfect summer night in the city.
Friday Night Special is a monthly summer series of lively, community-centered events at Mattress Factory for just $14.99 featuring the best of Pittsburgh's local underground musical acts. Museum admission included - what a deal!
Gather your friends, family, and neighbors to experience special live music performances from some of Pittsburgh’s best underground acts. Northside favorite Muns Pizza will be on-site to satisfy your cravings and Allegheny City Brewing will be around with refreshing drinks.
The musical performances will take place in our one-of-a-kind Garden—an immersive outdoor exhibition created in 1996 by artist Winifred Lutz. It’s the perfect setting to soak in the music, connect with neighbors, and enjoy a warm summer night.
You’re also welcome to explore the museum at your own pace throughout the evening, making this a night of both sound and sight. Curious about the art? An educator will be in our galleries ready to chat and answer any questions you might have!
