This spring, the Center for Design and Material Culture (CDMC) and the Design Studies Department present Design 2021, a virtual edition of SoHE’s annual juried student exhibition. UW–Madison students of all majors were invited to submit their best design work generated through Design Studies courses over the past four semesters (January 2020 through April 2021) for consideration.
Work is being judged on originality, experimentation, craftsmanship, and content. Work will be juried/selected by two design industry judges. The entry window for submissions was from Friday, March 19 – Sunday, April 18, 2021. Each student was able to submit a maximum of four (4) entries, including group projects/collaborative works. Selected work will be curated into an online exhibition at the end of the semester and hosted here on the CDMC website (launching in May). Apply now!
