2013 UCLA Game Art Festival May 8


The UCLA Game Art Festival returns for one night at the Hammer May 8. A wise choice as the second night event last year was a bit less put together.




UCLA Game Art Festival 
Wednesday, May 8  One night only! 
7­-10:30 p.m. 
The Hammer Museum Courtyard
"Festival to feature more than 35 playable games, tournaments, machinima screenings, and
other game art installations. Two giant projection screens, multiple game cabinets and live music will contribute to the festival’s cacophonous, carnival ­like atmosphere and a special installation of Caine's Arcade "
