29Rooms is an array of experiences under one roof. It's a space for interaction and exploration: a place to dance, paint, think, make new friends, give a damn, it's a tasting menu of contemporary culture built by voices in art, style, activism, and technology...it's a visually stunning stage for creative expressionists, an invitation to dream bigger.
Each year, the makers behind Refinery29 collaborate with visionaries, brands, and nonprofit organizations to create an interactive experience that will surprise and delight.
