Video games as art! Join us for an exciting night of the unexpected in partnership with Game Arts International Network.

Grab a drink and try the games! At 7pm listen as Jim Munroe, former AGO Artist-in-Residence, shares why he selected each game and asks questions of many of the games' developers for behind-the-scenes looks at their processes and artistic inspirations.
