Alumni Exhibitions

The Detroit Artists Market took a look at design with the DAM Design Show. This show examined the entire creative process from concept to design to creation of an artistic and functional piece. The DAM Design Show provided an intimate look into how design “happens”, and results in unique functional pieces. The work of several CCS alumni was featured in the show including Alex Porbe (ID-PR ’91), Gonzalo Rodriguez (ID ’94) and Graem Whyte (FA ‘96) in lighting design; Tom Carbone (CR ’02) with shoe design work; and hat designs by Ericia Bartels (CR ’05) and Annica Cuppetelli (CR ’05).
