Mission

The Design Gallery holds exhibitions that relate to the processes and results of design. Exhibition programming supports the textile, apparel and interior design programs of the Department of Design Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Human Ecology. Biannual exhibitions focus on the holdings of the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection.

All Design Gallery events and exhibitions are free and open to the public. You can help support our programming through a gift to the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
