  • INVERSE

    Inverse challenges viewers to see another side. People’s experiences shape the way they perceive the world around them; it’s easy to overlook how we as individuals are subject to our preconceived notions. Works challenge viewers to look beyond the message at face value and see the other side.

  • LUMINOUS

    The theme of Luminous is to provide a beacon of shining light to illuminate the pervasive dark times of the previous year. While the tribulations of these past events should not be neglected, the focus of this exhibition is to illustrate how darkness serves as a canvas for the exuberance of light. Despite the resounding pain that we have all deeply felt, there have been many silver linings to contrast. Each installation showcases every designer’s personal story of how they found the light.

  • VISCERAL

    2020 was a challenging year for everyone, full of deep, visceral emotions. In the wake of COVID-19, social unrest, natural disasters, and the worst economy we’ve seen since 2008, the artists have a lot of baggage to deal with. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with these types of emotions. The purpose of this show is to highlight a few of these challenges and create a space of expression, healing, and action.
