WE BELIEVE IN POWERFUL PLAY
1. People of all ages learn best through play.
2. Play builds connections between people and is how we build social bonds. It strengthens relationships between families, communities and even countries.
3. Upcycling is awesome! Play requires imagination and willingness to take a risk, not fancy equiptment.
PopUpPlay is led by Cofounders, Folasshade Laud-Hammond and Jennifer Brevoort. We'd love to meet you.

About the event
What is there to do at our Big Arty Build?
*Make or add onto a Giant Sculpture: picture cardboard, pool noodles, bamboo stakes and so much tape. If you can think it up- we can make it together!
*Showcase your talents on stage at Cherry Street's Got Talent: Do you have an arty talent ...do you sing, dance, juggle, tell hilarious jokes or just look good on stage? Let us know an you can be a part of DJ Frost's non-competitive, inclusive and totally low stakes performance experience.
*Feeling like having something else make your art? Design a Scribble Bot with Brooklyn Robot Foundry and watch a masterpiece come to life.
*More coming soon from our friends like Nimble Craft, and Chelsea Does It.
