The Art of Play
This ACME Lab brings together works of art from the UMFA鈥檚 permanent collection that depict play 鈥� from a quiet match of backgammon to a lively pick-up game of neighborhood sports. Play is creative and imaginative; it is an impulse shared across humanity that enriches our experience of the world. With board games, card games, hide-and-seek, crossword puzzles, and unorganized sports, people come together over a shared moment of laughter and friendly competition.鈥疭pend some time in this gallery to reflect on the artworks and play some games of your own. What are your favorite games? Who do you play them with?
