Design For Life

A new exhibition at Penn State highlights the impact of design on society.  Work from Stuckeman School faculty and students that exemplifies the influence design has on a wide range of social issues will be featured in a new exhibition, Design for Life, that will run Nov. 10 to Jan. 26 in Art Alley, HUB-Robeson Center. “Design for Life allows all of us in the School to see how we are designing to help those around us, regardless of discipline or department,” Shipton said. According to Kucker, Design for Life recognizes the Stuckeman School as a resource for design innovation and development at all scales of work that has a direct impact on such issues as social justice, affordable housing, community engagement, health and well-being, sustainability, climate change and more.  Twenty-two projects will be featured in the exhibition, spanning work that was done from January 2018 through December 2020. Works within the exhibit will also be available to view online once the show opens via Issuu.  A reception celebrating the opening of the show will be held on Nov. 10 from 6-7:30 p.m. in Art Alley. All HUB-Robeson Galleries exhibitions and programs are always free for all. Visitors are required to wear a mask at all times in University buildings. Art Alley is open 24/7 and is closed on University breaks.
