Playgrounds

Playgrounds is a platform for visuals arts that showcases and celebrates the creative image. Playgrounds stimulates new developments, signal innovative movements, it inspires an international creative industry and connects you to the best and brightest artists and animators, extraordinary filmmakers, game-, sound- and graphic designers. For more than ten years the platform organized several Playgrounds conferences and festivals throughout the year. Several moments, where the international creative industry comes together. Where you get inspired by artist talks, workshops, films and masterclasses. Where you meet your biggest heroes and witness mesmerizing performances.
 In the fall Playgrounds organizes a travelling fest, called In Motion. In an ever-changing media landscape, constantly moving and dynamic, Playgrounds is also always In Motion. Even more so when chasing the newest creative trends, mind-boggling artists, ambitious innovative projects and unearthed inspiration emerged from digital arts in all shapes and forms. We wanted to explore more, discover more, enjoy new spaces and connect with new audiences. So meet: Playgrounds In Motion. A travelling festival, focusing on different themes in every new location. First two stops: London + Rotterdam! In the spring we dive into The Art Department which focuses on the design process of film, animation and games, in Eindhoven and Berlin. We also have a free on demand platform RePlay, where you can re-watch the talks and interviews of our festival. And each year Playgrounds supports amazing talents in the tailor-made talent program Next.
