"What the *#&! Is Social Design"
“WHAT THE *#&! IS SOCIAL DESIGN” is an exhibition that explores the definition of Social Design. The exhibition will showcase leading creatives that are making a difference. It also explores the many facets that define design for social change. Plus, be a true softy and enjoy our soft serve ice cream at the opening reception.
The exhibition is partly user-generated and invites the viewers to participate by drawing and writing in various spots around the show. YOU make the exhibit a collaborative and evolving experience.
Featured designers:
- John Bielenberg (C2, Mavlabs, Project M)

This is a SOFTSPOT exhibition. The SOFTSPOT is a collaborative MFA thesis project created by Ashley Ciecka and Michael Jeter. With photography from Jonathan Snyder and short films by Joshua Couto.
