The Art Department Eindhoven 2022

Fest on concept art & design in film, animations & games

Playgrounds is coming up with a new edition of The Art Department!

Shaking things up! For our next edition of The Art Department in Eindhoven we moved to the spring. This fest on concept art, design and craftmanship in film, animation and games will take place again in the industrial venue Klokgebouw. And we’ll add extra flavor to the festival by organizing extra activities in this inspiring area.

The last years we had the pleasure to have industry greats such as character designers Carter Goodridge (Despicable Me), Loish (Horizon Zero Dawn), Peter De Sève (Ice Age), Borja Montoro (Moana), but also amazing concept artists, VR heroes and world builders like Jama Jurabaev (Ready Player One), FX Goby (Back to the Moon) and Santa Monica Studios (God of War) on our stage.

We are looking forward to creating an extra-ordinary art experience upcoming spring. Expect artist talks, interviews, panel discussions, games, expo with original art works, workshops, an art market and everything we can think of to make this The Art Department yet another playground for the creative industry.
