playinghouse is an artist-first platform bridging contemporary art and design. Based in New York, the platform orchestrates exhibitions at rotating locations, exploring the intersection of the functional, the familiar, and the inventive.

Co-founded by Angela Yang, Clara Leverenz, and Sophie Taylor, the collective spotlights multihyphenate artists working across performance and painting, sculpture and functional furniture. playinghouse challenges the fixity of traditional institutions and fosters conscientious, communal, and caring looking.
