UC DAAP Alumni

Exciting news from DAAP! Comment below if you are an alumni working in the field of Games & Animation, we'd love to connect with you.

Consider how gender bias affects the creative fields with University of Cincinnati College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning alumnus Hal Apple ’82 BSDE.

In his video presentation, Hal Apple draws connections between a 1990s medical school anatomy class, a Mantis shrimp, and art museums to explore gender bias and the role men have played in defining societal gender norms. How have artists, architects, designers and planners broken the boundaries for those who are not men? Or, have our professions simply not seen the boundaries? Please join Hal Apple in learning how to innovate our work by embracing new paradigms.

Join Hal and the rest of the DAAPX speakers on Friday, March 1.

Enjoy highlights from the Art Ladders’ podcast with University of Cincinnati alumna Valerie Allen ’75 BFA and Armin Mersman.

The podcast “Art Ladders: The Creative Climb” was founded in 2021 by artists Valerie Allen and Armin Mersmann. Art Ladders motivates and uplifts fellow artists through a mix of interviews and “coffee hour” conversations about issues such as artist’s block, marketing for creatives, and competing in juried exhibits. Allen and Mersman will share highlights from the most popular episodes in the Art Ladders’ library.
