The Alchemy of Art and Play is a two-part exhibition featuring rotating TAG-selected artists across February and March. The show explores creativity, play, and perception as powerful forces for connection, learning, and imagination.

Through interactive, tactile, and thought-provoking works, the exhibition invites visitors to slow down, engage the senses, and rediscover the joy of experimentation. Curated by Claudia Fiks, this ongoing series reflects the deep relationship between art, play, and the brain—highlighting how curiosity, rhythm, and intuitive making shape creative thought.

Originally launched in 2023, the exhibition returns to TAG in an expanded format, introducing new artists each month and encouraging dialogue, participation, and discovery through artist talks, workshops, and live demonstrations.
