Gallery Tour: Sketching the Surface

Join curators and designers Arpie Gennetian, Anne Regan, and Andrea Lacalamita of StudioExhibit.A for an exclusive tour of NYSID's new exhibition, Sketching the Surface: Exploring the New York School of Interior Design Archives and Contemporary Pattern Design.

They will explore the legacy of 20th-century pattern designs from the NYSID Archives—fabric, rugs, carpets, and wall coverings—created by Joann Nelsen, Joe Martin, Joseph Grusczak, and Inez Croom. By complement and contrast, they will provide insight into the creative processes of contemporary pattern designers Dan Funderburgh, Jeanetta Gonzales, Li Iordanov Dan, and Andrew Raftery.

This is an exciting opportunity to discuss how pattern design has evolved in tools, materials, and media while retaining deep connections to historic practices.
