About This Event

Indoor Recess: The Art of Play. Classic recess energy, community, and connections with games, movement, art stations, and creative freedom.

Indoor Recess: The Art of Play is our classic, nostalgic, and grown community-centered adult recess experience. Reimagined indoors with an art-forward twist. This is play for adults who believe joy, creativity, and connection are worth practicing.
