MICA is excited to announce the 8th annual MICA Grassroots DesignFest, sponsored by T. Rowe Price and produced in partnership with the Neighborhood Design Center, to be held on Saturday, March 29, 2025 in the Brown Center.  

DesignFest is an exciting, one-day, in-person design-a-thon that pairs teams of volunteer designers with Baltimore City-based nonprofits to generate design solutions such as logo prototypes, style guides, visual brand concepts, signage, collateral materials, and much more. 

 

Volunteer designers comprise students and working professionals from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. MICA undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to volunteer! DesignFest offers students a valuable opportunity to network with experienced designers and use your art- and design skills to benefit grassroots organizations that are taking on some of the most pressing issues facing Baltimore City. 

Applications for volunteer designers are now open, and will be accepted through February 17, 2025. Sign up to volunteer and learn more at https://www.grassrootsdesignfest.org/designers.
