CUDO is putting together a show at Cakes on Walnut for the Boneyard Arts Festival, and we’d like you to be a part of it! The more designers participate, the more energetic, fun, and diverse this show will be. If we each do a little, the whole of our efforts will be greater than the sum of its parts.

Each piece in the exhibition will be available for a donation of $10. Proceeds will be used for future CUDO programming. We invite you to contribute a design based on the specs below.

To download a submission form, click here.

theme (based on cakes on walnut)

• Subject: cupcakes or cocktails—anything having to do with either one.
• Approach: Anything goes! You can work with conceptual or visual connections to the subject, wordplay, typographic design, photography, parodies of recognizable images, series, etc.
