Etsy at the Design Triennial: Why Design Now?

Etsy at the Design Triennial: Why Design Now?

pGood news, friends! Etsy has been invited to be part of the National Design Triennial at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. The theme for this exhibition is “a href=”http://cooperhewitt.org/EXHIBITIONS/triennial/why-design-now.asp” target=”_blank”Why Design Now/a?” and, in part, explores the impact of community and sustainability on the designed world./p
pA few examples of Etsy items will be there on display: congratulations to a href=”http://necklush.etsy.com”necklush/a and a href=”http://www.etsy.com/shop/Toolgrrl”Toolgrrl/a! We will also have a computer kiosk in the interactive section of the exhibit so that visitors can explore a href=”http://Etsy.com”Etsy.com/a./p
pI sometimes think of Etsy itself as a massive gallery mdash; a collection of handmade and vintage artifacts. But what also excites me about being part of the Triennial is that Etsy will also be stepping forward as a group of creative people across the world. We’re collaborating with folks at the museum to plan crafting events and talks to go along with the Triennial. We’re also taking part in an ongoing discussion about our role in the world as creative people and how we can use that creativity to make an impact./p
pstrongGet Involved/strongbr /Some of the designers and organizations involved in the exhibit have been invited to share a three minute recording that visitors will access via an iTouch. Our recording will explain what Etsy is and talk a bit about what design means to us. I really think Etsy is all about you mdash; collectors, crafters and artists, and people who care deeply about design mdash; so I want to hear from emyou/em, the Etsy community. I hope to quote some of your responses when I do the recording. (Shout-outs!)/p
pSo, tell the world: “Why design now? Why is design important today?” Post in the comments below./p
