Key Presentations by Predock and Frane, Mackey McDonald, and MK12 with Ben Radatz and Mick Ebeling will be central features of the symposium.
Between these 3 key presentations will be 2 breakout sessions, each with a selection of four panel discussions. The panels will combine national and international artists and designers with academic and design professionals from the region to discuss topics relevant to innovation and working "Between the Lines". Each day will conclude with projection work by Graffiti Research Lab and Christopher Baker, opening exhibition receptions, and a special film screening. The mid point of the symposium will be marked with a luncheon reception in the Symposium Expo. Download a full symposium schedule pdf here.
