Pattern Show is an open submission poster exhibit curated by the AIGA Grand Valley Student Group and hosted by FLUX Gallery. Collectively, submissions chosen for display will visually represent the unity of designers and artists of all disciplines, promote the AIGA Professional Association for Design as a valuable resource for young artists, and help support the local art community. A portion of all proceeds will help benefit the UICA’s Artworks program.
