On Thursday, September 2, 2010 from 5:30-8:00 pm join the youth from PlatteForum’s ArtLab, who collaborated with Metropolitan State College of Denver, Communication Design students, as they open their new exhibition Lessons Learned – A Denver Pop-Up Store. This is a short-term retail exhibition that houses products—found objects—designed and packaged by the high school and college students. Personal narratives of each youth were woven into the design process, re-conceptualizing the products for the pop-up store. The interactive exhibit invites the public to experience the products on display, share their own life stories, and offer lessons of their own. With multiple products ranging from vials of patience and “formitables”—oven mitts and chop sticks to help you take the hard road; there is a lesson for everyone to learn. This is the second year ArtLab interns have collaborated with Metro State as part of the national initiative, Design Ignites Change. Proceeds from the sale of these products will support next year’s design partnership with Metro State. http://blog.riverfrontpark.com/index.php/1219/
