This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the Mattress Factory celebrated with cakes, crowns and the launching of our new learning program called Mini-Factory: Big Ideas for Small People. Mini-Factory is an interactive mobile space designed by artist Katie Ford, for children ages 3-6 years of age. This is a great opportunity to have your child collaborate with others and experience a new work of art.
The concept behind Mini-Factory is for the space to adapt
and transform with each installment. Children will be able to experience a
piece of art, have story time, and participate in a project in the mobile
pop-up space based on the theme of the day. We want children to begin thinking
about space and the world around them. Through this program we hope that
parents and families will explore the Mattress Factory and learn more about the
educational opportunities within our installations.
While Mini-Factory is FREE, you must RSVP in order to
attend. Interested? You can respond by email to felice@mattress.org, or by phone at 412-231-3169.
