Some of the most exciting work during NYCxDesign can be found at student exhibitions, but where are they? The short answer: all over the place. Some are hidden in larger shows like ICFF, and others are standalone shows. To make the search for great student work a little easier, we’ve put together a list of student exhibitions we’re looking forward to and where to find them:

WantedDesign
WantedDesign Manhattan and Brooklyn always open up a fascinating design dialogue, showcasing work from both students and professionals. This year, student exhibitions at the show seem to be in future-gazing mode:
In Coincident Times, the graduate students of the MFA in Products of Design at the School of Visual Arts explore speculative pasts and futures to produce fifteen product proposals for the present day.
A collaboration between Pratt Institute and Caesarstone, Future Kitchen encourages students to explore all aspects of designing the kitchen of the future.
For HyperHybrid, a group of students from various design schools were asked to explore the theme “HyperHybrid,” where they envisioned objects with multiple functions and merged production processes.
Looking to hire students instead of critique their work? You might catch some at Wanted Career Day.
