February is National Heart Health Month. The Red Dress is the
national symbol for raising awareness of heart disease, the
number one killer of women in the nation. Since 2010, every
February, Design students showcase their own red dress designs as
a metaphor to tell stories about what they have learned about
heart disease, encourage a younger generation to become aware of
the importance of heart health and to practice prevention by
leading a healthy lifestyle.
The Red Dress® is the national symbol for raising
awareness of heart disease as the leading killer of women.
Cardiovascular disease kills a woman every minute, more than all
cancers combined, yet is largely preventable through the adoption
of healthy lifestyles.
In 2010, the Department of Design entered into a unique
partnership with the UC Davis Women’s Cardiovascular Medicine
Program to campaign for women’s heart health awareness. This
exhibition showcases 18 red dresses from the UC Davis Red Dress
Collection created by design students.
If A Tree Fell showcases wood objects created using
sustainable practices. The show presents work by Northern
California artists: Gyöngy Laky, Sam Perry, Matthew Scheatzle and
design groups: Wowhaus, MRCW Design-Build and Martha Davis, along
with significant pieces from the Beany and Dick Wezelman
Collection. The exhibition will include work created and inspired
by African, Asian and European traditional craft fused with
contemporary styling.
