On the evening of April 26, a crowded Stewart Theater once again erupted with the applause and cheers that normally accompany the NC State College of Design’s annual Art2Wear production. Finishing its 22nd year, the show is no stranger to wowing audiences with unique, daring and sometimes bizarre wearable collections. <\/p>\n\n

However, there was something different about Art2Wear this year. The show’s host department, formerly known as Art + Design, recently changed its name<\/a> to Media Arts, Design and Technology (lovingly referred to as MADTech). There was no runway present for models to strut across. Placed center stage was a massive LED display filled with colorful motion graphics and video content produced by fellow students. Furthermore, the College of Design is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary – marking the numerous transformations throughout its campus since 1948.<\/p>\n\n

These factors drove co-directors Megan Brown (GXD ’23) and Emma Anderson (MADTech ’23) to establish Art2Wear’s 2023 show as one of change. The year’s theme was dubbed Art2Wear: Kinetic.<\/p>\n\n
