At 1628, we believe there is no such thing as creating in a vacuum. Art cannot be made without influence by its surroundings, and when you are in an art institution, you are influenced by the work others are creating around you. DAAP is a building dedicated to design thinking, where aesthetics are seen as a solution to creative problems. The art school is housed in a building devoted to design, creating an aesthetic of art unique to its students.

1628’s Winter exhibition highlights this unique mindset and aesthetic quality of DAAP faculty, students, and alumni. ALIGNED showcases works that are design focused; aesthetically and conceptually.
