A Note from the Directors<\/h2>

We are so excited to present Art2Wear 2023: Kinetic. With the College of Design’s 75th birthday, we wanted to find a theme that felt representative of our college and Art2Wear\u2019s rich history. We started with a long list of foundational design terms like “balance”, “expand”, and “tectonic”, but “Kinetic” felt the most apt for a year filled with so much to celebrate. As a society, university, organization, and even as individuals, we are experiencing a change. As departments adapt and as Art2Wear is pushed to reach new heights, we both believe it is pivotal time for us to embrace the unknown, even when it can be scary. Kinetic above all else implies the potential to succeed, so as we move away from what we were, we can learn to embrace the new and unknown. In line with this kinetic change, we\u2019ve asked our designers to celebrate motion and life and to step out of their comfort zones with us.

Thank you all for pouring your hearts into this labor of love! A2W is only possible with the hard work of our incredibly talented designers, faculty, student members, and of course our audience.<\/strong>

With Love,
Emma Anderson (MADTech) & Megan Brown (GXD)<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n
