CURRENT & UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS Young Designer's Show 2013: CCA Interior Design Program  September 21 - November 3, 2013 The Museum of Craft and Design is excited to collaborate with our friends at California College of the Arts (CCA) by showcasing the work of a select group of exceptionally talented students in their Interior Design Program. Focused on design, materials, constructs and atmospheres, the Young Designer's Show 2013 will feature the best of the year's projects: drawings, renderings, lighting and furniture designs, models and full-scale material explorations and prototypes.   This exhibition will be on view during the Pacific West Regional Conference of the Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) and complement the Best Young Interior Designer Award Exhibition. Young Designer's Show 2013 is guest curated by CCA professors Megan Werner and Margo Majewska with  assistance from CCA Interior Design students. It will coincide with New West Coast Design 2 opening October 26 at MCD. Exhibition details at www.sfmcd.org.

Holly Lane: Carving Allegories June 29 - September 15, 2013 The exhibition features 12 elaborately carved and deftly painted works of art that are best described as carved frame-painting hybrids, as well as sculptural works of gilded carved wood. Lane taps into surrealist, gothic, renaissance and mythological vocabularies.

This exhibition explores the behind-the-scenes process in designing for form and function. Featuring drawings, models, prototypes, photographs, oral histories and original objects, this collection unveils the problems and innovative solutions in creating art with a purpose.
