Fritz Klaetke: 1630 Celebrates First Anniversary

Fritz Klaetke’s (BFA 1988) agency, Visual Dialogue, is celebrating the first anniversary of its successful project, 1630: a pop-up ​“shoppe” designed to celebrate Boston’s past and present. 1630 brings the best of local makers, vintage from across New England, and products they have designed to the people of Boston and visitors. Featured goods include caramels made in Boston with natural ingredients, hand-printed tea towels, and many more.

The agency has been dedicated to helping organizations overcome their most important marketing challenges for the past 25 years. In addition to his work at Visual Dialogue, Fritz is a graphic designer whose work has been exhibited at the Detroit Institute of Arts, Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C., The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York City. Fritz is a featured speaker locally and nationally, and has lectured at multiple art schools around the country.
