OUT/IN/FRONT is a bi-annual exhibition highlighting local designers to share innovative and exciting design work, research, theory and practice culture with students and the larger professional design community.
This year’s theme celebrates scales of work that are often overlooked or under-examined, not because they aren’t meaningful or effective, but simply because of their smaller size. We invite you to share work that highlights practices, projects, technical interventions and outcomes small in scale, but mighty in their impact.
You’re welcome to share finished work or works-in-progress. Submission details are below.
