Welcome to Play Space
What is Play Space?A place where nostalgia meets reimagination, Play Space is an immersive art experience that invites visitors to reach into the depths of their memories and view them from a both the grand sensation of childlike wonder and great the despair that naturally comes with nostalgia.
Working within the realm of capturing childhood, Play Space explores how nostalgia is imagined and reimagined through and asks visitors to open themselves up to remembering their own nostalgia as well as to make new memories to potentially grow nostalgic about in future years to come.Play Space will be presenting the work of Mandy Tran, Samuel Densmore, Steele Alden, Sydney Haswell and Q Savoy. Please join us on May 10th-May 12th to view this world through the lens of our artists and of course, through the looking glass of your very own perception. Play Space will have its grand opening on May 10th between 12:30pm-1:30pm and we invite you to join us to experience this space with beverage, food and of course the art that seeks to seize nostalgia in its wake.
