The Art Directors Club is pleased to announce that The Undiscovered Letter will be unveiled on April 3 at the ADC Gallery, where the creative community at large is invited to come and join in a night of Disclosure.
The evening will showcase the 27 finalists of The Undiscovered Letter, a creative challenge in which participants flexed their imaginative muscle to conjure up the 27th letter of the alphabet.
Disclosure will feature an exhibit of this elusive, not-yet letter as it has been conceived by the 27 finalists, from initial notebook sketches and scribbles to completed designs.
An international panel of judges will further select personal favorites from among these finalists, but only one entry will be named "The 27th Letter."
Expectations are high, as the competition was open exclusively to ADC Young Guns alumni - under-30 professionals in various creative disciplines who have been selected biennially for their exceptional talent.
The contest, designed by the ADC in partnership with Moleskine to raise awareness about lettera27, presented an unusual puzzle in its intentionally broad scope.
In a tribute to literacy advocates and their search for unique and unconventional solutions, ADC Young Guns were encouraged to do away with boundaries and tackle the challenge of The Undiscovered Letter in any manner they wished to choose through any subject, form, skill, and/or medium.

Join the SVA MFA Design Criticism department for its third reading night at KGB Bar in the East Village.
This time readers will be looking at design through the murky lens of evil: Editor and writer Andrea Codrington examines Modernist design as a signifier of malice in Hollywood films; D-Crit co-founder and SVA MFA Design Chair Steven Heller reflects on the Swastika and its potential for redemption as a symbol; and Metropolis columnist Philip Nobel reads an open letter he wrote shortly after the death of the architect Philip Johnson.
This event is part of a bi-monthly series of reading nights, organized in anticipation of the Fall 2008 launch of the Design Criticism MFA program at the School of Visual Arts.
All are warmly invited to attend. For more information, please contact the department at 212.592.2561.
