KCAD Collaborative Design

Thank you Nicholette for such an insightful conversation. Here’s to a better tomorrow!

The Inclusive Exchange is looking a little bit different this semester! We are happy to be hosted in the Spark Gallery at 17 Fountain. Drop by and visit!

We are also excited to JoLee Kirkikis, the ArtPrize Director of Exhibitions, to speak about accessibility at Artprize in her talk ALL TOGETHER NOW. Join us on Monday 9/22 at 11:30-12:30 🎨✨

WELCOME TO THE INCLUSIVE EXCHANGE

Collaborating with DAKC our goal is to…
- Promote Collaboration and Creation
- Promote awareness and understanding of inclusion opportunities within the design community
- Gain insights and invite dialogue to influence future opportunities and expand the projects scope
- Create a set of plans based on feedback gained to include inclusive design in the core values of KCAD
- Expand the scope of this project beyond KCAD

Come contribute to our interactive questions and join in on the conversation! Located in the Atrium in the Fountain Street building.

Going through this semester and next with a quick break for the holiday market (12/7 10am-4pm)❄️✨
