PLAY! examines the facilitative role of art institutions in encouraging play, community connection and self-expression. This exhibition emboldens audiences to physically respond to the artworks, generating engagement atypical of institutional settings. The aim is to allow audiences to question and explore ideas of self and community through playful, dynamic processes. The exhibition will run 29 Nov 2025 – 15 Feb 2026.
Artists: Corrigan Fairbairn, Robert Frost, Melissa Gilbert, Nastia Gladushchenko, Sanné Mestrom, Nadia Odlum, Kate Reid, Andrew Yip.
