Creativity Takes Shape

April 14 - May 9

KCAD's Annual Student Exhibition sees emerging artists transform our gallery spaces into a canvas for their curiosity, their craft and their imagination, showcasing work from across disciplines. It’s an opportunity to experience the ideas, experimentation, and creative growth KCAD students are exploring right now.

Welcome Message

The Annual Student Exhibition celebrates the culmination of creative inquiry at Ferris State University's Kendall College of Art and Design. The work on view represents the depth, rigor, and imagination of our graduating students. These artists and designers engage complex ideas, explore new forms, and contribute fresh perspectives to the field.

Across disciplines, this exhibition highlights a range of approaches, materials, and voices, reflecting both individual vision and a shared commitment to thoughtful, impactful making. These projects mark a significant transition as students move from academic practice into broader creative communities.

We invite you to experience the exhibition, engage with the work, and connect with the next generation of creative practitioners. Their ideas, processes, and perspectives offer a glimpse into the future of art and design, and the many ways it continues to shape our world.
