- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Throughout the spring, VSW hosted a Handmade Film workshop as well as three in-person game jams centered around various free and accessible game-making tools (Flickgame, Ren’Py, and Bitsy). The jams were an inclusive way for local and regional game makers, artists, storytellers, and hobbyists of all ages and skill levels to meet up, support each other, and encourage the creative process. This pop-up arcade is a showcase of artists’ games made during these meet-ups for the public to play and engage with. Along with the arcade, we will project the 16mm films and 35mm slides made by students in the Handmade Film workshop.

This event is free and open to the public.
