Read on to learn about what’s been inspiring us this week, including a bevy of design- and art-related events.
This weekend the juried art and design festival BKLYN Designs is on in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. A major exhibition of the year for Brooklyn-based designers, artists, and makers, the show will include more than 65 participating designers, as well as themed lounges, workshops, demonstrations, art installations, and local food and drink.
