While in New York this summer, i also got a chance to check out the NYC Makers exhibit at the Museum of Art and Design, running through October 12, 2014. The exhibit spotlights 100 "Makers" throughout NYC's 5 boroughs, creators of all different types of art and creatively-designed products.
It spans two floors of the museum and extends also into the stairwells and elevator spaces, and really, you name it, and it's represented--art, fashion, food, hand tools, horticulture, nightclub design, even scratch-and-sniff wallpaper (no really). I'll admit it though, i went because among the featured makers were milliners and costume production artist Sally Ann Parsons, for whom i have worked in past summers.
Here are some pix from the exhibit of some of my favorite pieces.
