New Developments - Deadline for Call for Entries Extended - Jan 10, 2011

Due to some exciting developments here – including collaborating with Dr. Joey Lee at Teachers College to host the digital games side of the exhibition, and significant funding from our Provost and Microsoft Research, which is making possible a conference on Creativity, Play, and the Imagination to run in conjunction with Game Show NYC – we are pleased to extend the deadline for the call for proposals for the exhibition to January 10, 2011. The combination of exhibition and conference should bring together an invigorating mix of artists, educators, game makers, and scholars – and we look forward to the conversation. Please see www.gameshownyc.com for the revised call for entries and information about the conference - and spread the word to others you think might be interested! - Nick
