It's All Fun and Games
August 28, 2024 - July 19, 2025
It’s All Fun and Games is a unique and whimsical interactive art experience that will celebrate the essence of pre-smartphone nostalgia and childlike play. Using a range of mediums, artists delve into the realms of childhood nostalgia, creating an interesting dialogue between the past and present. Tactile experiences will reconnect visitors with the carefree joy of their early years, encourage playful exploration, and ignite curiosity. In a world increasingly dominated by digital technology, this exhibit aims to transport visitors back to a simpler time, when tangible objects and activities brought us joy and wonder.
Co-curated by Bianca Velasquez and the Springville Museum of Art Exhibition Team
