PlaySFMOMA

PlaySFMOMA explores games as a participatory mode of visitor engagement, and experiments thoughtfully with interpretive uses for emerging technologies. The program features annual activities including: crowd-sourced games, pop-up arcades, game jams, a game-designer-in-residence series, live playtesting, teen workshops, family games, wide-ranging programs, and collaborative research and development with other museum games producers. Come play with us!

Opening October 19

SFMOMA Artcade

Play sports-themed video games in SFMOMA’s community-designed Artcade. Three proposals were selected from an open call, and the winning teams spent the summer designing and building their game. Presented alongside Get in the Game: Sports, Art, Culture, the selected games reflect on the expansive nature of play, spectatorship, and the close relationship between competition and collaboration.
