Form & Function
The Art of Graphic Design
Submission Deadline: 11:59pm EST, September 7
Exhibition on view: October 1 - Nov 1, 2026
Graphic design, often relegated to a commercial or functional category, is a practice rich with visual innovation, conceptual depth, and emotional resonance. "Form & Function" will present a curated selection of graphic design works that transcend their immediate commercial purpose, demonstrating mastery of composition, color, typography, and image-making on par with fine art.
The show appeals to a broad audience such as design professionals, art enthusiasts, and the general public by engaging with a medium they encounter daily. It will stimulate debate, draw new demographics to the gallery, and position the organization as a thought leader in contemporary visual culture.
We seek to definitively argue that when driven by aesthetic intent, conceptual rigor, and expressive freedom, graphic design is undeniably art.
