TAPESCAPE
NOW UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2, 2019

Experience TapeScape - a unique play environment and creative art installation! Custom-designed by artist Eric Lennartson, TapeScape is an interactive indoor landscape made entirely out of plastic wrap and packing tape stretched over a huge metal frame. Strong enough to handle hundreds of energetic kids every day, the smooth and springy surfaces will curve and twist with your movements. Exploring this unusual and unpredictable environment is sure to spark kids' creative learning!

 
Local tour sponsored by Johnston Group. Additional local support provided by Global Television, Inn At The Forks, NorthStar Scaffold Inc., Prairie Public, Steinbach Credit Union, and Toromont CAT.
