“The Human Condition” Art Exhibition

From April 21-May 9, the Laird Norton Center will host the exhibition “The Human Condition,” by Art & Design seniors.

“The Human Condition” explores transformation, sensory experiences, and the complexities of human existence.

Through diverse design perspectives, each project reflects the personal and collective moments that shape us. From the tactile to the intangible, the exhibition invites viewers to engage with themes of change, perception, and emotion.

This culminating showcase highlights the work of emerging designers as they navigate the threshold between past, present, and future. Join us in celebrating these explorations of what it means to be human.

This exhibition is free and open to the public Monday-Friday.
