ArtCenter College of Design Presents– Reveal: Uncovering Layers of Creativity 2
New Installment of the College’s Reveal Exhibition Showcases Graduate Student Work Across Disciplines
ArtCenter College of Design will present Reveal: Uncovering Layers of Creativity 2 from July 24, 2025, through January 30, 2026, at the Graduate Studies Gallery in the Mullin Transportation Design Center on the College’s South Campus. This second installment of the Reveal exhibition features the work of a new cohort of 13 students from a range of disciplines, including Industrial Design, Graphic Design, Media Design Practices, Art, Spatial Experience Design, Interaction Design, Brand Design & Strategy, as well as Furniture, Lighting and Fixtures.
The exhibition invites participating graduate students to explore in their work the concept of “unveiling”—whether through hidden meanings, processes, or material experimentation. Through a range of media, including mixed media installations, sketches, drafts, prototypes,photography, sensorial, digital renderings, 3D models, process videos, and print, the exhibition challenges visitors to look beyond the surface to discover underlying narratives and explore the techniques that inform the students’ creations.
The exhibition was designed and curated by Associate Graduate Chairs Gerardo Herrera and James Meraz.
