Museum of Design Atlanta hosts Made in GA an exhibition celebrating local industrial design:

Taking the viewer inside the world of industrial design, MADE IN GA tells the story of design and manufactured products through a local lens. The exhibition provides insight into how design impacts our community and our lives and draws attention to design's role in social, environmental and economic issues.

"MADE IN GA highlights a myriad of product design originating in Georgia," said Carie Davis, the exhibition's curator. "We hope to raise awareness of local businesses that support quality design and provoke thought among viewers about the products they bring into their lives."

The exhibit will feature examples of product development at various stages in the design process, including concept sketches, renderings, study models, prototypes, digital models and marketable products. The local designers and businesses showcased in the exhibition, such as The Coca-Cola Company, Goody and Benedetto Guitars, all support quality design. Student work from the industrial design programs at the Savannah College of Art and Design and the Georgia Institute of Technology will also be displayed.

Made in GA will open on June 5 and run through October 18 at MODA, free to the public.
