“The creative individual wants to be a know it all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.” — Carl Ally
Each academic year the Graphic Design Program mounts three exhibits displayed in Biggin Hall Gallery. These include one Senior Project Exhibition each semester and the Annual Graphic Design Juried Student Exhibition in the Spring semester.
This gallery section shows examples of students’ work from recent exhibitions as well as accolades received by students in various regional, national and international competitions.
