As you all are likely aware, PennDesign is located in the middle of a major US city. Philadelphia’s design-loving inhabitants partner with us on a regular basis. One of the partners with whom we engage is Recycled Artist in Residency (RAIR) which creates awareness about sustainability issues through art and design through its residency program, education and awareness, material sourcing, and exhibitions. Collaborations with PennDesign faculty, students, and alumni include Simon Kim, Matt Neff, and Theo Mullen. Read about RAIR’s newest project, Live At the Dump, here.
