Recently in the DC Gallery:
Voting is underway at the Duderstadt Center Gallery
October 12 – November 8
The Duderstadt Center Gallery has been transformed into a one-stop election hub on North Campus for the four weeks leading up to the November 8th midterm elections.
The Creative Campus Voting Project has designed a satellite Ann Arbor City Clerk’s office where U-M students and Ann Arbor voters can… register to vote, request an absentee ballot, vote early on-site, access voting resources, drop off your completed ballot at an official dropbox and celebrate participation!
The gallery will also feature an immersive Ballot Wayfinder installation Monday through Friday, 12-6pm where visitors can learn about and navigate the ballot and access trusted, non-partisan resources about candidates.

The satellite Ann Arbor City Clerk’s Office at the Duderstadt Center Gallery allows Ann Arbor residents (including students living in Ann Arbor) to register, vote and more. Stop by during open hours and our helpful guides will walk you through the entire process!

THE CREATIVE CAMPUS VOTING PROJECT
U-M Stamps School of Art & Design faculty Stephanie Rowden and Hannah Smotrich, co-founders of the non-partisan Creative Campus Voting Project (CCVP), work at the intersection of civic design and public art. Using insights from behavioral science, they design vibrant civic spaces, experiences, and materials to educate and energize college-age voters.
