ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) - This past weekend, thousands of LEGO fans gathered at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center for BrickUniverse Albany. NEWS10's Cassie Hudson takes a look inside the family-friendly event and finds out how it’s sparking imagination in more ways than one.
“LEGO is a brick. A lot of people think of it as a toy but at BrickUniverse, it is an artform,” said Roland Beights, the event organizer.
The convention took place on April 27 and 28, 2024, at the Empire State Plaza Convention Center. BrickUniverse includes LEGO exhibits and creations, professional LEGO artists, building zones, LEGO sets, and more.
“To be among all these legends today is so honorable and such a humbling thing,” said Sean Gildea, a business owner and builder.
