Members' Event | Shaping the Collection: The Members’ Acquisitions Fund


Open exclusively to Design Watch Members and above. Design Watch Members are invited to a very special evening with Cooper-Hewitt’s curators to vote on a design object that will be added to the Museum’s collection. Each curator will present a carefully selected object, one of which will be purchased using proceeds from Design Watch Members’ dues. This is your opportunity to help shape the collection at this inaugural event! RSVP to the Membership Office at 212.849.8349 or chmembership@si.edu.

Collections Candy: Very Pinteresting!


If you're not familiar with Pinterest, let me try to paint the picture a bit for you. It's a pretty low-commitment social networking site with a simple signup process and an easy-to-use interface. The logo is swirly and red like a peppermint candy.
