Design Museum Boston, the new non-profit I met last month “with the goal of creating and maintaining a network of virtual and physical exhibit spaces online, in Boston, and across New England”, is throwing a party to launch their museum and social network, DesigningAMuseum.org.
For one night, the digital becomes physical as both designers and non-designers alike come together to help build the Design Museum Boston community. Have a drink, become a member of DesigningAMuseum.org, and live tweet at our onsite kiosks. View an onsite exhibit of the Design Museum Boston mission featuring local design work. Join the conversation as we work together to educate the public about the work local designers are doing and celebrate its broad impact.
Donations will be accepted onsite and there will be a silent auction with some fantastic items to benefit the museum, including: a litl webbook, pogoplug, imojito iphone wallet, Bose SoundLink digital music system, Philips Color Kinetics eW Profile Powercore and a variety of products from Converse. So bring your ideas and your check book. We’ll see you there!
It’s not often you get to be a part of the launch of a new museum, albeit a different kind of museum. “Through a decentralized network of physical and virtual exhibits, Design Museum Boston brings programming to galleries, retail environments, public spaces and the web. There, audiences can be exposed to the design process from a social, economic, and environmental point of view.”
The party (and inaugural exhibit) is planned for Tuesday, March 16, at West End Johhnies, starting at 7:30. If you’re going, please be sure to RSVP.
