On Oct. 19, Cooper-Hewitt will launch its third National Design Week, an initiative that aims to draw national attention to the ways in which design enriches everyday life, through outreach to school teachers and their students, and partnerships with design organizations across the country.
National Design Awards
The centerpiece of National Design Week will be the National Design Awards Gala on October 23. Established in 2000 to broaden awareness of the role of design in daily life, the Awards honor individuals in all areas of design, as well as its patrons and supporters.This year the ceremony will include a People's Design Award, determined by an online voting system. Starting September 22, the public can nominate and vote for their favorite designs at www.cooperhewitt.org. The winner will be announced live at the National Design Awards Gala in New York City.
Free Admission
During National Design Week, Cooper-Hewitt will offer free admission to all Museum visitors. Additionally, the Museum will host a series of free public programs in the Target National Design Education Center and Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden.
