Quest for the World's Best Baskets  
June 8 - September 9, 2012  

From the Zulus of South Africa to the Navajo and Hopi tribes in the American Southwest, this exhibit will feature stories, through the search for baskets, from all over the world.

For 40 years, basket collector Nancy Schermer was propelled by the desier to locate and collect the world's best baskets. This exhibition will highlight the results of her travels with stories of evolution: of the form, materials, and use of baskets, and of the collector herself, as she became immersed in the cultures whose baskets she collected.

 
   
We the Designers  
September 28—December 30, 2012  
Politicians, journalists and pundits use language. Graphic designers use visual language. Drawing on two realms, designers unite visual and verbal content in compelling communication. In a divisive era, when words alone have not been enough, can the power of design help unite citizens on the issues? Twenty three participating contemporary graphic designers wield opinion and analysis to inform and persuade about the unique issues facing the Obama administration; among whom are College of Design Professors Daniel Jasper and Steven McCarthy.
