PLAY is an exhibition that will examine games and play through the lens of contemporary art. We will look at play from a variety of vantage points, including: play as a vital tool for experimentation and innovation in art-making; play as a fruitful source of subject matter and content; and play as a strategy to interact with and engage audiences in contemporary art.

AAC will select approximately 7-10 artists to present works in our 7 main gallery spaces. We are looking for artists working in a variety of media. Out-of-the-box exhibitions concepts that employ new technologies like augmented reality and mobile applications are also encouraged.
