Come Out & Play turns the city into a playground for three-days! This year we are celebrating its fifth year. The festival seeks to provide a forum for new types of public games and play.
Each year the Come Out & Play settles in a different neighborhood and explores the limits of play and games in that space. We've played among the galleries of Chelsea, played amidst the thriving nightlife of the Lower East Side and navigated the throngs of tourists in Times Square.
This year the festival lands in Brooklyn to explore a new set of challenges. We will explore the potential for play in a converted 100-year old bathhouse. We will find ways to engage a residential neighborhood like Park Slope with games. We will discover the playful uses of a post-industrial swath of warehouses and canals like Gowanus. And we'll make games from the rich texture of a historic public cemetery like Green-Wood.
Until April 19th, we're accepting applications for games. We like to feature everything from the low-tech to the high-tech. We're primarily interested in fun, innovative games that make interesting use of the city. We’re also looking for a handful of games that we can pair to specific timeslots, local partners and other sponsors.
Apply here: Deadline April 19, 2010
