Conversations in Art+Innovations is an interactive lecture series for the creative community. It is an opportunity to explore the ideas of the most forward thinking and creative people working today. This event will will create a dialogue on the newest ideas and most compelling expressions between art + our world.
This month we're excited to feature Ryan Swanson, founder and executive director of The Urban Conga. The Urban Conga is a design firm focused on promoting community activity and social interaction through play.
“When people think of play they tend to only focus on children and their youth, but play is much more than that. It is a way to get to know a stranger, a way to learn, a way to develop, and just a simple way to escape the daily grind,” Swanson explains. “Our goal is to inspire play everywhere, and to create platforms that inspire people to never forget how to play.”
