PLAY/GROUND is back for its fifth year, and this team has been hard at work sorting through over 100 proposals for this site-specific installation art experience. What started in 2018 as a weekend-long art experience at the former Medina, NY high school, has grown to be one of Buffalo’s most anticipated art events of the year.
“What we’ve missed about not having it in Medina was how everything was contained in one area, and you were able to experience one thing after the other- we did the best we could during COVID, but I think like this year will be back to that level and beyond,” share PLAY/GROUND facilitator Emily Tucker.
The team has decided to get the party started a little early this year with a launch party and beer release on September 15th from 6pm until 9pm at Hotel Lafayette. Come celebrate the launch of PLAY/GROUND 2022 with music, Buffalo fanfare, art exhibits, and an exclusive PLAY/GROUND beer courtesy of Lafayette Brewing Company. This night will include a live performance by Curtis Lovell, and an exhibition or artwork created by past and present PLAY/GROUND artists.
Tickets are available here and each ticket includes a free beverage, light foods and access to all of the night’s festivities. Save $5 by buying pre-sale tickets, and get a limited edition print created by PLAY/GROUND designer Julian Montague.
This night is the perfect prelude to all of the fun to be had at PLAY/GROUND 2022 happening October 7-10 at Buffalo RiverWorks. Stay tuned for this year’s artist announcement!
