Please come join us for our next Design Venturers Western Mass event: "Art and Design in the Built Environment: A Round Table Discussion" When: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 6:30 PM Where: Artist Neal Parks Studio @ Eastworks 116 Pleasant Street, Suite #249 Easthampton, MA 01027 To RSVP, and for more details, see the full listing: http://www.meetup.com/Design-Venturers-Western-Mass/events/55810242/ This will be a round table conversation around how to build collaborations across design disciplines, with a specific focus on arts collaborations in the built environment. There will be presentations by two DVWM members; artist Neal Parks, and artist Frank Gregory about their experiences of large scale installations of artwork in public built environments. Anyone who has experience to share in this area (large or small) is most welcome to bring some photographs, or other 7-10 minute presentation of their project or work. Please come and bring your ideas, questions, past project experiences, knowledge, design concepts, and philosophy to this discussion. Design Venturers is a cross disciplinary meetup group for artists, designers, architects, interior designers, photographers, and other members of the visual design community. Our goal is to share knowledge across design disciplines, and provide out of the box thinking about how to create a high level of design. Though the focus of this meetup is Art and Design in the Built Environment, as always, we desire that members of all design disciplines attend, and offer their unique perspective. Cross-pollination, and cross-inspiration is a big part of why we are doing Design Venturers ;) All the Best, Lisa -- Lisa Hoag Designs PO Box 983 Wendell, MA 01379 http://www.lisahoagdesigns.com
