Brickworld Chicago - 2026

In 2026, I won full funding for an Artist Opportunity Grant from the Arizona Commission on the Arts. I applied for funding to attend my first LEGO convention, and the biggest one in the world - Brickworld Chicago.

For the convention, I built an exhibit that was an interactive gym. I knew that I wanted to create something that was both novel and interactive. In total, the exhibit included:

• Barbell with loadable plates (centerpiece)

• Whey shaker

• Airpods

• “DONT SKIP LEGo DAY!” sign

• Kettlebell

• SmartBells

• BrickBells

The exhibit was interacted with and lifted hundreds of times by over 15,000 attendees.
