Glimpse Contemporary Art
All throughout PGH, once-abandoned warehouses and industrial
spaces have taken on new life as innovative art galleries
and esteemed museums. A few of our faves? The nonprofit
Society for Contemporary Craft, the seven-story Andy Warhol
Museum (more on it to the right), and the avant-garde Mattress
Factory in the Central Northside neighborhood. A Stearns
& Foster showroom until the 1960s, the Mattress Factory houses
room-sized contemporary installations created by artists in
residence. It’s art you can literally get into.
