Project M at Winterhouse

This year 15 professionals/students will converge at Winterhouse in Connecticut to participate in a collaborative design project for social change called Project M.

Project M, is an intensive summer program committed to inspire young creatives to apply their creative minds to address universal issues on a local level. Find out more here. The application deadline is June 15th.

Polling Place Photo Project

As we’ve previously mentioned, The Polling Place Photo Project, was an initiative presented by Winterhouse and endorsed by the AIGA. This nationwide experiment in citizen journalism encouraged voters to document, post and share photographs of the primaries, caucuses and general elections.

The University of Hartford is hosting an exhibit which includes 200+ photographs from the archive along with four films by Andrew Sloat about democracy and the constitution. The exhibition opens on March 6th and will run until the 18th.
