SUMMARY:Exhibition: Gift of Making: A Whimsical Celebration of Art\, Design\, and Creativity at FIT — Closes
DESCRIPTION:November 20–January 11\, 2026\nArt and Design Gallery Windows \nThe Gift of Making transforms the Art and Design Gallery’s windows into a whimsical celebration of creativity and craft. Inspired by the enchantment of holiday displays\, the installation invites viewers into a “winter tale” about the joy of designing and making. \nEach window unfolds as a chapter in this story\, featuring student artwork from all 17 majors in the School of Art and Design. Stacked\, open-fronted gift boxes serve as cabinets of curiosity\, framing the inventive objects\, garments\, and images that represent the many facets of art and design at FIT. Interwoven with playful ribbons\, floating snowflakes\, and maker’s tools\, the displays evoke the shared spirit of creativity and the community of makers behind it. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Fashion Design AAS Exhibition: Evolution — Closes
DESCRIPTION:Illustration by Janelle Lee.\nDecember 11\, 2025–January 11\, 2026\nArt and Design Gallery \nEvolution is the fall/winter Fashion Design AAS exhibition\, exploring the natural cycle of fashion through a floral lens. For this showcase\, students delve into the theme of evolution—from the seed of a concept to the buds of growth\, from the blossoms of creativity to the final bloom of completion. Each phase of their process reflects change\, transformation\, and renewal. \nIn the spirit of collaboration\, students from the Illustration program interpret transformation through fashion illustrations\, while students from Photography and Related Media capture moments of becoming—documenting their peers in the Fashion Design AAS program as they bring new visions to life. \nConception\, iteration\, and creation—Evolution celebrates fashion’s continual\, ever-unfolding movement forward\, shaped by growth and renewal. \nThis exhibition is organized by the Fashion Design AAS Exhibition Committee\, in collaboration with Dan Shefelman\, chair of Illustration and Interactive Media\, and Allison Wade Wermager\, chair of Photography. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.   \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Rewind\, Play\, Fast Forward: Animation and Game Design at FIT and Beyond — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Image by Dan Shefelman/The Animation Project.\nJanuary 17–February 15\, 2026\nArt and Design Gallery \nRewind\, Play\, Fast Forward: Animation and Game Design at FIT and Beyond celebrates animation and game design work by FIT students\, faculty\, and alumni of the School of Art and Design and the School of Graduate Studies. \nThe exhibition surveys works created in New York City and beyond\, showing how storytelling appears in animation\, where a storyline can take on a linear structure\, and in game design\, where players shape the story themselves. On display are a wide variety of game and animation art\, concept and character designs\, and games to play\, along with a special guest exhibition of world-class work from Hornet\, an New York–based animation studio that produces all forms of commercial work\, including stop-motion and computer-generated animation. \nAt FIT\, students in the Illustration BFA program can specialize in design for animation and games\, where they learn about concept art and character design to understand how characters and sets work together to create worlds and tell stories. Students in the Animation\, Interactive Media\, and Game Design BFA program take the process from design to completion\, adding movement\, sound\, and/or gameplay. Alumni of both programs have gone on to work for renowned studios\, including DreamWorks\, NBC Universal\, Disney\, and Titmouse\, where they continue to create character designs\, concept art\, and animation for popular shows. Others have formed their own game and animation companies. \nRewind\, Play\, Fast Forward is curated by Dan Shefelman\, chair of Illustration and Interactive Media\, and organized by the Department of Illustration and Interactive Media. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
