This fall, MAWA is hosting a members’ showcase and sale entitled Play. It will feature one work from every MAWA member who chooses to submit, in a wide range of styles and mediums. Some of the art will be for sale, with all proceeds going to the artists.
Play exists for enjoyment. It encompasses sports, games and more. To play is to engage, to activate, to take part. One can play a trick or act in a play. It is also a move: “Nice play!” There is an aspect of improvisation, spontaneity and the unexpected to play: making it up as we go along. Play can have goals, literal and figurative, or be open-ended; it can move teams of people to physical prowess or take place in a single imagination; it can provide pleasure in doing and even in being watched. Play is one of the hallmarks of childhood—indeed an important way we learn—but is embraced by humans of all ages, as well as mammals and birds. As artists, making a mark, a stitch, a gesture or a sound intrinsically connects us with play, playfulness and the joy of being.
