2018: The Year of Graphic! explores the impact of our increasingly visual society with leading thinkers in art and design, literature, politics, science, & more!

Graphic! is the CHF’s first-ever year-round theme. Graphic! will consider our rapidly evolving visual society by charting its expressions, opportunities, and limits. CHF’s programs this spring and fall will consider Graphic! from angles and mediums ranging from photography and mesmerizing screens to the coarsening of our language and politics.

“We’re bringing some of the most creative minds across art, design, media and storytelling,” said Marilynn Thoma Artistic Director Alison Cuddy. “They have a deep understanding of the potential and challenges of graphic technologies, and it will be exciting to see their experiments up close and in person.”

“Our annual Spring Festival has become a vital part of our year-round programming. This year’s lineup, building on our theme of Graphic!, dives deeply into art and design, as well as some of the pressing realities of our contemporary world—from the #MeToo movement to the global refugee crisis to often overlooked sites of American history,” said Executive Director Phillip Bahar.
