SUMMARY:Maryland Federation of Art : At Play 2026

 s. Making the way children do, without asking why.\r\nAt Play invites 
 submissions that emerge from states of experimentation, wonder, and fr
 eedom from outcome. No medium restrictions. No right answer. Just the 
 work that happened when you stopped performing and started playing.\r\
