3x3-1

“The 3x3s are an essential link in the chain of offerings from the graphic design program at Art Center that enable our students to understand what is expected of them creatively and professionally.

“The format encourages interesting juxtapositions that spark deeper thinking. These exchanges between the presenters often create significant personal meaning to the attendees.”

– Petrula Vrontikis
