SUMMARY:Exhibition: Figured Cloth: From Sketch to Jacquard — Closes
DESCRIPTION:October 1–11\, 2026\nGoodman Center Lobby \n“Figured cloth” is a historical term for a textile with a pattern\, or motif\, woven directly into its structure during the manufacturing process\, rather than printed or dyed on its surface. These textiles\, also known as jacquard fabrics\, are now developed using specialized textile design software. This exhibition showcases the jacquard fabrics designed by Textile/Surface Design students in the spring of 2026. \nFigured Cloth highlights the evolution of skills and the wide range of creative expression in the jacquard design course. Starting with hand-drawn and painted motifs\, students then use weaving software as a tool to iterate\, evaluate\, and execute their designs. These textiles display the design\, conceptual\, and technical skills the Textile/Surface Design students have mastered to complete their work. \nSpecial thanks to MTL Inc. for supporting the next generation of textile designers and weaving the fabrics in this exhibition. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Kenna Libes\, adjunct instructor in the History of Art\, talks about her book\, Fashion’s Missing Masses: The Representation of Marginalized Populations in Collections and Exhibitions of Dress. \nFashion’s Missing Masses fills a gap in literature on museums and fashion collections and focuses on the display of clothing and fashion that has historically been left out of the canon.

Their authors study the ways that the associated dress materials have been collected\, displayed\, and passed over across a century and a half of museum exhibitions. \nA book signing will follow the talk. \nRead more on the FIT Authors site. \nThis event is for the FIT community only.  \n RSVP VIA FITLINK

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Architecting the Future of Creative Intelligence — Opens
DESCRIPTION:October 16–November 8\nGoodman Center Lobby \nThe role of the designer is being redefined. As advanced technologies transform the design process\, designers are moving beyond executing production details to become visionaries who shape ideas\, direct systems\, and orchestrate collaboration between humans and AI agents. \nThis exhibition imagines a future where creative intelligence (CI) is measured not by what designers can produce with their own hands\, but by what they can envision\, direct\, and bring to life. Freed from traditional production constraints\, designers can focus on what matters most: asking better questions\, solving bigger problems\, and architecting meaningful solutions that were once beyond the reach of any individual. \nArchitecting the Future of Creative Intelligence is the 2026 Creative Technology and Design Annual Exhibition\, featuring award-winning projects from advanced Creative Technology and Design courses\, including Dynamic Branding\, AI-Assisted Design\, Digital Product Design\, and Kinetic Typography. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
