PLAYFUL! debuted its first interactive art exhibit, suitable for all ages, in July 2017 at Aire Place Studios in Leeds (UK). Receiving popular acclaim, PLAYFUL! exhibits are popping up all around - perhaps soon, somewhere near you! See bobbiraecubs.wixsite.com/playfulexhibit for more details.
PLAYFUL! is not a ‘look and see’ experience. You are invited to explore the power of perspective, in a world beyond truth. You are invited to interact, play, and you are the one to decide what it all means.

As you enter PLAYFUL! Exhibit, you are welcomed with drinks, party poppers and branded confetti, to boot! You make your way around the bustling room; engaging with a variety of multi-sensory, handmade, mixed-media exhibits. The common factor, among a tasteful colour palette and a discerning array of recurring shapes, is that you are involved in the work. Each exhibit is a game for you to navigate. Deciding which shapes are your favourite, do you have rules? Engaging with the artwork is a tactile, fun and joyful experience which aims to facilitate a pressure- free and creative platform that encourages dialogue between varied age groups/social/cultural backgrounds.
PLAYFUL! endeavors to promote the benefits of divergent and individual thought by asking everyone to get involved, share ideas and indulge in their own unique perspective.
