Opening Celebration: Between Tides Beach Party
Join pro ping-pong players, exhibition artists, and a live band for a free public celebration of Between Tides, our newest exhibition featuring sculptural ping-pong tables on Rockaway Beach.
The drop-in beach party will feature matches happening across all six ping-pong installations, opening remarks, light complimentary refreshments, and a chance to explore the exhibition for the first time. Ping-pong paddles and balls will be available to borrow for free! Visitors are encouraged to experience these works in both traditional and unexpected ways, expanding the boundaries of play, participation, and fun.
Can’t make the opening? Join us for a free ping-pong tournament on August 22!
