A quarterly competition focused on creativity and materials.
Applications for the next Material Activation Lab are now open. Join us in exploring new possibilities through material experimentation, creative practice, and community collaboration.
Because every Lab centers on a different material and creative direction, this is a great opportunity to engage with a fresh focus. We look forward to seeing your application and are happy to answer any questions.
