DAAPworks
Each year, DAAPworks transforms the entire college into a living exhibition, where studios, hallways, and galleries become a large-scale showcase of the graduating class.
As the most anticipated event of the year, it brings together projects from across disciplines in a shared, dynamic showcase.
What is DAAPworks?
For decades, DAAP has celebrated senior capstone projects in the week leading up to spring commencement. In 2009, this tradition was formally named DAAPworks, introducing a unified identity for the exhibition.
The event showcases the final work of graduating students across disciplines, where ideas, processes, and collaboration come together. Many projects address social and environmental issues, reflecting a commitment to meaningful change and demonstrating the power of design and art to drive positive impact in the world.
Over time, DAAPworks has expanded to include both physical and digital formats, increasing access and extending the reach of student work.
