Invitation to Play: An Interactive Exhibit

March 14 - May 2, 2026

Harry M. Cornell Jr Permanent Collection Gallery

Design a Transparent Collage!

This is an invitation to stop, slow down, and play. Create your own pattern, collage, or mini work of art and use a light projector to display it on the wall. Whether you choose to draw your own designs with markers on the transparent sheets or use provided transparent shapes and images, to form your imagery, the possibilities are endless.

Capture your collage by snapping a photo and let it live forever! Stand in front of it and have a friend take a picture of you with it, or snap a quick selfie. Don’t forget to tag us on Instagram and Facebook by using @SpivaCenterForTheArts.

 

Community Puzzle Table

Whether one piece or many, this is a invitation to pause and take a breath. We invite the Spiva community to help complete the Cat Van Gogh puzzle before the exhibit concludes.
