Learn to Play Too, an expansion of the ground-breaking Learn to Play.
January 4 – February 24, 2011

Learn to Play opened on October 4, 2010 and continues through November 24, 2010. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, and to the great interest from campus and community to develop projects and programming directly related to the exhibition, we are offering Learn to Play Too, which will take place from January 4 – February 24, 2011 and will feature many of the current artists, as well as new ones.

Learn To Play Too will incorporate new projects and programming as well as additional works curated in through various channels: open calls, game challenges, and through our expanding projects, programming, and networking. Our goal is to use the broad topic of games to encourage dialogue, discussion, and engage campus and community, all ages.
