MAGIC: THE GATHERING 25th Year Anniversary Exhibition
It is no surprise that Magic: The Gathering has become one of the most enjoyed tabletop games on the market and features one of the most beloved fantasy worlds of all time. This tribute exhibition celebrates the worlds, visceral memories of playing the game, and encounters created via the captivating world within the cards visualized through the work of 50+ international creatives.
Paintings, illustrations, framed digital works, and inspired pieces pay homage to some of Magic: The Gathering’s unique lands, worlds, monsters, characters and the act of playing the game. This exhibition is not just about the visuals, experiences and friendships that have emerged from the game, but references some of the original contributors, content, and artists that made the game what it is today.
THE ULTIMATE FANTASY: Building worlds and making games can be fun, but it's no joke. Game artists pour endless time, creativity, blood, sweat, and tears into the worlds they create to facilitate exciting adventures, engaging design, and memorable experiences! And Light Grey Art Lab wants to give these worldbuilding professionals a moment to stand in the spotlight for The Ultimate Fantasy Exhibition.
