PLAYTESTS – The Overview Effect

Join us for our series of PLAYTEST’s. Be part of the Art - Drop in and work with our exhibiting artists, experimenting and exploring different tools and materials to create collaborative structures. Artists,

Abby and Alice are inviting visitors big and small to take part in their Playtest during their Open Studios Laboratory this June. Exploring the notion of Grotto’s as artificial natural structures in alternative landscapes that offer sanctuary in the face of looming climate change, they will be working with visitors through a series of Public ‘Playtests’. The results will culminate in a final series of immersive, gamified multi-sensory installations for the final exhibition, The Overview Effect. The exhibition will be open from 4 July – 30 September.

Free and all ages welcome!  

Date：8th – 9th June
