Blanket Fort

Produced by Art Is Hard

It takes a village to build a Blanket Fort.

A pyjama party where everyone is invited, Blanket Fort is a 6-day interactive installation that empowers participants to create, change, and take ownership of the space around them. During the days of January 24 to 28, build your own little corner of the fort—hang blankets, rebuild the structure or collaborate with other people to make the Blanket Fort the best it can be. Young or old, engineer or artist: anyone can join in!

ART IS HARD
Art Is Hard is Pip Bradford and Rebecca Vandevelde.
Art Is Hard is a company devoted to building curated, experiential environments of permission based on audience participation.
Art Is Hard is an installation arts practice that asks, “What happens when you let yourself have fun?”

“In all of the pieces there are themes of community, connection, and co-dependency and family, land, and nation. And it’s because of, yeah, what I experienced living in my great-grandma’s house when we moved here, with my great-grandma, my grandma, and my mom.
