Topside (The Garden Room) | Mount Vernon, Baltimore
Design & Dine returns for a special lunch edition at Topside in Mount Vernon! Join us for a casual discussion led by the wonderful Debbie Millman, in which we’ll explore how we portray our lives on social media.
Have you ever wanted to play around with neon glow-in-the-dark paint or graffiti markers? Are you tired of hiding behind a computer screen day in and day out? Yearning to get a little messy? Join AIGA Baltimore and Jubilee Arts on Monday, October 21 for a prop-making workshop to help us glam up our Fashion Show Closing Party at the end of Design Week 2019.
Join AIGA Baltimore and Raleigh, NC. native Taylor Cashdan on Tuesday, October 22, 2019 at Co-Balt Workspace to discuss the dangers of ignoring stress, the toxicity of the ‘hustle mentality’ and burnout culture, and their overall contributions to living ‘the creative life.’
Creativity. Collaboration. Community. Join us on October 24th at Pixilated to learn how to find your community AND make the most of it, with Illiah Manger of C&V and Rachel Davis of Your True Tribes. Register now for this free Design Week event!
Join us on Friday, October 25th for an exciting day of tours through three of Baltimore’s innovative design and advertising agencies: Gilah Press, idfive, Jellyfish, and Mission Media!
The creative process is full of ups and downs. Often, only the final piece is revealed. Join us for a fashion show and panel discussion in which the designers will reveal their processes and the struggles they overcame along the way. Afterwards, break out your dancing shoes and close out Design Week with local food and beverage vendors, music, and more!
Join us on Sunday, October 27th at iNovex’s brand new offices in Columbia for a Design Thinking workshop that digs deep into “Step 0: Problem Framing.”
What is the city of the future like? What should it look like? And who is it for? Come join SHAG, AIGA, and Morgan State University’s School of Architecture and Planning for a talk and workshop about how we might make space in the future.
