A virtual outdoor experience that inspires us to find creativity in nature and explore.Engage you senses with this interactive virtual reality outdoor experience in the gallery! You will feel like you are in a campsite in the wilderness under a starry sky. You will smell the pine of the forest around you and hear the calls of nature. Inside the “tent” (virtual reality dome) you will learn about famous artists who have been inspired by the great outdoors. Try out our prototype interactive station, or add your own brush stroke to our massive community wall mural in the style of AJ Casson (Group of Seven artist who was inspired by our country’s wilderness).
