Fest and conference dedicated to design and craftsmanship in film, animation and games.
In 2026, The Art Department returns to the iconic Klokgebouw, celebrating 20 years of Playgrounds with a packed program full of artist talks, workshops, demos, screenings, live sketching sessions, portfolio reviews, expos and opportunities to connect with the industry and so much more!

15 April: In-Depth Day | A full day of extensive talks, masterclasses and screenings of Playgrounds International Film Festival
16 + 17 April: The Art Department | Main Event
