NY11+ Luncheon at the United Nations - Critical Interiors: Design for All

The NY11+ Luncheon is a fundraising event celebrating the exceptional work of New York State interior design students from NY11+ member institutions, while honoring distinguished leaders who are shaping the future of the industry and discipline.
