6pm Victoria Milne, “We Built This City: How Art, Graphics, and Design Policy Take Shape for New Yorkers” Friends. New Yorkers share one thing in common: we're generally from other places. Yet, when we come together we do but one thing: we build this city. As an 80s reminder: http://bit.ly/14MYd. Show up and take a bow. This apple exists because you bite it. Where: SVA DCRIT 136 West 21 Street, 2nd floor, New York NY RSVP

7pm Hobby You know that stuff you do at home, when you cancel those drinks invites in favor of the macrame moment? Yeah. Hobbies. We have them. Come into the light. And be at home with yourself in this pecha kucha hobby smackdown. Where: Harvest HQ 187 Lafayette St. 6th Floor New York, NY 10013 RSVP

Wednesday, December 15

7PM Hive Holiday Party It's nice to be with a bunch of people who care about the same stuff you do. The Hive. 'nuff said. Where: Hive at 55 55 Broad Street 13th Floor New York, NY 10004 RSVP

Thursday, December 16

8-11 PM Monthly Design Review with Simon Sinek As designers, we often reflexively start with THE HOW or THE WHAT -- listen, we're human; it's forgivable. Come and learn why good design needs to orient at THE WHY. In case some motivation is required: http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/848 Where: Salt Space 1158 Broadway 5th FL New York, NY RSVP

Friday, December 17

9-6 PM THE CRITICAL GIFT OF DESIGN (CONFERENCE) Have you ever wondered what your worth is? We mean as designers? Nope. Not an existential question. More of a validation. Come. Listen. Be. This conference will critically examine what design and designers have "given" to the world, in action and in theory, and what more they might give as the concept of design evolves and expands. Where Parsons Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Auditorium, Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, 66 Fifth Avenue RSVP
