Come Out & Play 2010 in Brooklyn, NY We're very excited to announce that the Come Out & Play Festival is coming to Brooklyn in 2010. The festival will run June 4-6, 2010 in the Park Slope and Gowanus Canal neighborhoods of Brooklyn, New York. The Brooklyn Lyceum will be hosting the 2010 festival.
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.
Come Out & Play 2010: Call for Submissions We're very excited to announce that Come Out & Play Festival will celebrate its fifth year of street game fun the weekend of June 4-6 in New York City. This year's festival is being graciously hosted by The Brooklyn Lyceum in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Come Out & Play is a three-day festival of street games. The festival seeks to provide a forum for new types of public games and play. We want to bring together a public eager to rediscover the world around them through play, with designers interested in producing innovative new games and experiences. Oh yeah, and we want to have city-size fun. Right now 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. The festival spreads out across New York City, but will be based primarily around South Brooklyn. Games have access to a variety of interesting settings, from Prospect Park to the Old Stone House to Green-Wood Cemetery, the streets and bridges around Gowanus, and of course the streets, sidewalks and other public areas waiting for the perfect game.
