The Art of Design: Punch Gallery - Opening Thursday June 5th

Begins: June 5, 2003

he Art of Design: Graphic Artists paint pretty pictures.

CURATORIAL STATEMENT.

Often in our image saturated lives good design is overlooked. Artists who's days are spent designing and selling everything from toothbrushes to t-shirts, websites to watermelons are rarely recognized for their art. They hone their skills and creativity on the company dime, conceptualizing their personal projects and waiting for the moment when they can create without care of the bottom line.
