Emerging Creatives Exhibition

About the exhibition

Exhibition Dates: Friday, September 29, 2023–Sunday, October 15, 2023

DEADLINE EXTENDED
Entry Deadline: Monday, September 18, 2023

Healing, rest, and rehabilitation have surfaced as integral elements of civic, social, and personal well-being since the pandemic began. The Design Summit for Friends of Friends will feature conversations that center on intentional care for ourselves, our communities, and this planet we share. With design, we have the power to create a future where we all thrive.

Mobile Makers invites emerging creatives with up to 10 years of experience - from all design disciplines - to submit impactful ideas, projects, and initiatives that celebrate justice and joy, and align with the themes of the summit. All submissions will be exhibited at Mobile Makers Chicago between September 29 and October 15.

We encourage you to answer the prompt in whatever way feels right to you (as long as the guidelines below are followed). Feel free to submit new or old work.

Emerging creatives who submit a project will receive a discount code for 15% off summit admission.
