TODAY IS THE DAY! EVERY DAY IS A CELEBRATION – HOLIDAY SHOWCASE WITH SVA

Dec 7 - Jan 24

The School of Visual Arts and the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) have a long relationship due largely to the public exhibitions produced by artist, designer and 3D Design Chair Kevin O’Callaghan and his students, which are frequently on view along the famous street. Past SVA 3D Design–Madison Avenue BID collaborations include “Hemlines From Skylines: Architectural Fashion,” “Obsessorize” and “One of a Kind” and “Barkitecture.“

The latest exhibition, now on view at the height of the holiday season, is “Today is the Day! Every Day is a Celebration,” a series of dress-themed installations each representing a meaningful national day of celebration, created by BFA Design students in O’Callaghan’s class. Each student’s piece is illuminated within an eight-foot Lucite case and features a description of the national celebration day in the case. The displays are located on the sidewalks of Madison Avenue between East 61 and East 79 Streets.

School of Visual Arts has been a leader in the education of artists, designers and creative professionals for seven decades. With a faculty of distinguished working professionals, a dynamic curriculum and an emphasis on critical thinking, SVA is a catalyst for innovation and social responsibility. Comprising 6,000 students at its Manhattan campus and over 43,000 alumni from some 130 countries, SVA also represents one of the most influential artistic communities in the world.
