A Custom Toy Show
Do you remember your favorite childhood toy? Gone (perhaps) but not forgotten. Toys are about imagination and imagination is the first tool of all artists and designers.
AIGA Jacksonville is hosting its first custom toy show, Designers in Toyland, at the December Art Walk, December 2 from 5-9 pm at the 229 N. Hogan Street Studio. Over 80 artists will be exhibiting toys built from scratch or built upon existing toys. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to The Big Fun Box, an organization that provides activity kits to children who are hospitalized frequently and for extended periods.
