Pittsburgh’s own City of Asylum / Sampsonia Way is featured in The New York Times!
House Poem is one of four houses-turned-public-art-projects along Sampsonia Way between Monterey Street and Sherman Avenue, a quiet stretch of North Side also home to the much-loved Mattress Factory art museum. House Poem is a project by City of Asylum, a grass-roots organization that provides exiled writers from around the world with housing — and turns those formerly derelict homes into giant works of art. Their website offers audio tours explaining the artwork gracing each house and introducing the authors who have lived there.
