Coming Home
Coming Home is an annual series of exhibitions scheduled to coincide with the homecoming of travelers that takes place at the turn of the calendar year. Featuring emerging artists beginning their journey as well as established artists who have found success outside of Michigan, Coming Home is a celebration of both arrivals and departures.
As a reoccurring series, the Coming Home identity references the established visual language of the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts to communicate the concept of arrival and departure through an emerging and receding type mark. The concept was reinforced through the invitation, which upon being received, could be torn into several individual postcards and forwarded.
