March Moments: Celebrate Design With Us
Join us for the last month of Letters Beyond Form: Chicago Types. This exhibition has been one of our most popular one yet! It opened in November 2024 and has received attention from Chicagoans and tourists alike. Check out what the press had to say: WTTW, Fox 32, and more!
If you haven't seen this incredible exhibition that explores Chicago's diverse typography, or you have seen it and want a deeper dive, join us at one of our upcoming events before it closes.
Join Fourtunehouse Art Center and the Design Museum of Chicago on March 9 in this workshop that connects local creative spaces to the larger conversation about lettering and public art.
Whether you’re a designer, student, or typography enthusiast, this discussion offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from the makers who bring letters to life. Over a two hour conversation, we will hear from Kelsey McClellan of Heart & Bone Signs and Sir Charles Jackson Showalter-Cavanaugh of Okay Type as they explore their commissioned work for Letters Beyond Form, offering insight into their creative processes, inspirations, and the ways they push the boundaries of typography and letterforms.
Celebrate the release of the Letters Beyond Form exhibition catalog with an evening at the Design Museum of Chicago. This beautifully designed book captures the essence of the exhibition—exploring the artistry, history, and cultural significance of letterforms. The event is free, but take home a catalog by pre-ordering it for $20!
