Graphic Design Trip to the Chicago Cultural Center

Ellen Browning, associate professor of art and design, recently accompanied students to the Chicago Cultural Center to view CHCO DSGN, an exhibit featuring the work of elite graphic designers.

Rick Valicenti, award-winning designer and founder of Thirst/Chicago, a design firm in Chicago, curated the show. As he led the group through the exhibit, his passion for design, especially Chicago design, was evident.

Design student Keegan VanMaanen ’16 of Leighton, Iowa, said, “Seeing the contributions of talented designers in the Chicago area was an illuminating experience, motivational.”

Because of Trinity’s proximity to Chicago’s art and design world, students benefit greatly from many opportunities like this to see professionals living out their vocation.
