Through these immersive experiences, Grow Op touches on urbanism, environmental sustainability, landscape design, and contemporary art - with hopes of reframing our understanding of our place in nature. Tickets to the exhibit are $11, although certain events are free to attend.
Here are 5 things to do at Grow Op 2016.
Grow Op features work from over 30 artists ranging anywhere from reworked furniture to large-scale, interactive pieces. David Perret created sculptures out of weighted tree trunks that viewers can interact with like an inflatable punch bag. Design Build Grow Studio created a hydroponic garden out of everyday materials to inspire people to produce what they normally would just consume.
Alternative Food + Drink Show
From 6 - 10 pm tonight (April 21), the Ballroom at the Gladstone Hotel will be home to Grow Op's Alternative Food + Drink Show, highlighting a slew of vendors aiming to make the future of food sustainable, ethical, and organic. RISE Kombucha, KW Craft Cider and C-fu Foods are some of the event's most explorative foodies and chefs. Tickets are $11 for food only; $16 for food and drink.
Gladstone Flea Goes Green
This Sunday (April 24) from 10 am - 4 pm, peruse goods from local, ethical, and environmentally sustainable makers at the Grow Op edition of the Gladstone Flea. Free to attend, the market will offer guilt-free fashion finds, vintage scores, and other gems from over a dozen labels.
