Virtual Event - Design Museum Everywhere: Design is Everywhere, So are We

September 15, 2020
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Virtual Meeting - Zoom link included in registration receipt and registration confirmation screen

Learn about a new kind of museum - Design Museum Everywhere. The Design Museum Everywhere is a community that focuses on all aspects of design without being confined by a location, building, or walls. Instead, they turn the museum inside out, making it accessible to all. They’re online and nomadic; like design, the museum is everywhere.
Discover this innovative approach to public design inspiration, education, and impact from Design Museum Everywhere’s Executive Director and Vice President, Sam Aquillano and Liz Pawlak. The Design Museum Everywhere's expansion plan calls for Austin.
