PLAYTHING
a retro toy-themed exhibit at HIVE artspace
APRIL 3-25, 2026
Opening Reception: First Friday April 3, 5-9
We all had a favorite toy we have fond memories of, and maybe even long for in our adulthood. This exhibit celebrates the colorful, quirky, and iconic playthings that shaped generations, with artists of various age groups reinterpreting beloved childhood toys. Blending nostalgia with fresh perspective, this show explores memory, identity, and the lasting cultural impact of the toys we treasured. Come enjoy this fun exhibit, and remember what it felt like to play.
Art lovers who cannot visit in person can view the exhibit via an on-line photo album HERE.
Purchases can also be made on-line (see details in virtual album via above link), and shipping is available on most pieces.
