Playing With Posters is an educational game arts exhibit created by The Game Foundation Charity, with Shining Spark Entertainment as a Third-Party Fundraiser. Playing With Posters chronicles the rich and diverse history of video games across Canada and around the world through our collection of their dynamic Poster Art through the ages. This presents a new way to experience and learn about video game history to celebrate this engaging interactive medium.

Playing With Posters currently takes the form of a Pop-Up exhibits at select events. It will be making its first appearance at the XP Game Summit from June 12 - 13, 2025. It will then be featured at the Get On My Level video game tournament from July 4 - 6, 2025. We have hundreds of posters in our collection and curate our showcase selection based on the event and venue to make every show unique. Each poster has an information card to tell you more about the game and its historical context.

We would like to take Playing With Posters to even more spaces but rely on YOU and your donations and sponsorships to make that happen. All Donations benefit The Game Foundation Charity to support expanding this exhibit and their efforts for promoting Game Arts Preservation. To donate, please go to bit.ly/tgf-donate.
