Students Exhibit Visual Storytelling and Entrepreneurship
Two SVA Masters (MFA) exhibits sharing the Visual Arts Gallery in the Helmsley Building are open for business.
The Class of 2013 MFA Design: Designer as Author + Entrepreneur unveils its Hatched app, featuring 19 entrepreneurial products read for market. Visit the gallery (601 West 26th Street, 15th Floor) or go to the website. See products that will inspire: Brave Friends, Responsible Gun, Jointly, InBounds, and more.
Also on view the MFA Illustration as Visual Essay exhibition, Bad Habits, is probably the most exciting illustration show I’ve seen in years. The work, which must tell or add up to a story, is varied, intelligent and beautiful. View some of it on the web here, but you’ll better enjoy the total experience at the Visual Arts Gallery.
