This year’s Big Yard Studio, The Academy, explores the deep connections between the worlds of athletics and creativity. At its core, the exhibition reminds us that both sports and art are universal experiences— vivid expressions of human emotion and aspiration that transcend boundaries and bring people together.

FOSTERING CONNECTIONS

Both sports and art have the unique ability to foster connections among people—whether it's the camaraderie of teammates or the community formed around shared cultural experiences.

The exhibition reflects on these shared human bonds, emphasizing how both art and athletics offer pathways to understanding, empathy, and collaboration. Through the stories told by athletes and artists, visitors are invited to reflect on their own experiences, find common ground with others, and recognize the universal truths that unite us all.
