Eleven contemporary artists invited kids to test the limits of their imagination as they engaged with their work, learnt through creative play and explored the concept of the gallery as a playground. Artists developed innovative and experimental works specifically for this exhibition providing many fun opportunities for interaction:

Make kitsch creatures and psychedelic plants to add to the growing rainbow rainforest by Rosie Deacon in the gallery foyer.
Get up and boogie with Thom and Angelmouse in their skyscraper city.
Touch, hug, push, jump and listen to activate musical soft sculptures in The Sound Playground by Vicky Browne.
Watch the video in the Assembly installation by David Capra, Mikala Dwyer and Justene Williams, dress up in a costume and dance and perform.
Touch the forest sculptures, carefully feel inside the hollows and listen to the sounds of the creatures in the magical installation by Alison Clouston & Boyd.
