Garden Party MAKE/BELIEVE

When you believe in Mattress Factory,
you make art happen.

Garden Party is the museum's themed 21+ annual fundraiser benefiting the artistic, education, and community outreach programs at Mattress Factory. When you support Garden Party, you are believing in the artists - championing creatives from Pittsburgh and around the world as they work in-residence on our Northside campus to create remarkable art for our community.

This year's theme is MAKE/BELIEVE.

We are calling on all makers and believers. Ditch the mask you wear every day and step into a spotlight on the characters, caricatures, and creatures that make us believe in make believe. Show us what you see when you escape from reality at this very real night of theatrics. Make it curious and campy. Hilarious and hammy. Make it unbelievable.

Join us for a wonderful night of music, performances, art, delicious food & drink, a costume contest, and a silent art auction.

 

Performers

Get ready to dance! Garden Party MAKE/BELIEVE boasts 3 stages with music all night long from: Sleeping Witch & Saturn, Jellyfish, Sweat, DJ Ron Mist, DJ Dave Clevr, Lys Scott, Glo-Tree, and Sneeze Awfull.

From the hands of Pittsburgh artists and inspired by the world of make believe, bid early and often on the MAKE/BELIEVE silent art auction, live now! The auction closes at 11 PM on June 7.
