The Art Department Eindhoven becomes Playgrounds Fest

and you can already secure your ticket

Times are changing and so are we. In 2027, we’ll return to our beloved Klokgebouw with a new but familiar name. While The Art Department has been an important part of our journey, we’re bringing all our activities together under one umbrella: Playgrounds Fest.

“Playgrounds Fest is a celebration of the creative image across animation, film, games, illustration, design and the ever-changing landscape of digital media.”

The festival you know and love remains the same at its core: expect a packed program full of artist talks, workshops, games, demos, screenings, live sketching sessions, portfolio reviews, expos and plenty of opportunities to expand your network.

Get prepared for three days of festival magic:

🗓️ 14 April | In-Depth Day | A full day of extensive talks and masterclasses @ Strijp-S, Eindhoven

🗓️ 15+16 April | Main Program | @ Klokgebouw, Eindhoven

Check out a first look at what we have in mind for Playgrounds Fest 2027.

The even better part? The first batch of tickets is already up for grabs. They have the best price possible but come in a very limited batch. Don’t hesitate and get yours now!
