C-77 Design founder and principal Scott Carlson is proud to announce his inclusion in the juried art show footPRNT Wisconsin to benefit the Urban Ecology Center.

A creatively vibrant, diverse and growing metropolis, Milwaukee will play host to an event designed to stoke artistic passion and community appreciation. Using their surroundings as inspiration, talented local designers will create graphics that capture their neighborhood, the city, natural environment or a favorite hangout. All entries will be featured in a permanent online gallery available for download to the public, while select works will be displayed at the Milwaukee Day footPRINT exhibition and party. READ MORE
