April 2026: The Edit
“Design is not art. It is creative for the sake of serving a purpose or solving a problem.” — Austin Knight
For years, there has been a debate about the difference between art and design. In this show, design takes the stage.
The Edit Exhibition highlights the creativity, artistry, ideation, problem solving, and disciplined editing that define the design process. This exhibit showcases the work that lives inside that practice: projects shaped by intention, refined by revision, and driven by purpose.
AVA is proud to display artworks demonstrating typography, graphic design, branding, surface design, product design, and art and creative direction.
