A fierce auction hosted at Christie's featuring more than 65 fine art and design pieces…Over 500 stalwart urbanists in attendance…$300,000 raised…I'm talking about our Annual Art+Design Benefit Auction last year which brought in the quarter of our yearly operating budget. We would not be able to do it without the one and only Cindy Allen and her team at Interior Design magazine led by Annie Block and Helene Oberman.
As the event chair, Cindy's visionary leadership in steering our Annual Art+Design Benefit Auction and her relentless dedication to expand audiences for community-centered design has defined the Design Trust's growth for the last decade.
Check out the art and design gems featured in our 20th Anniversary Party on October 14, 2015, at Christie's. Join the bidding now!
Public space is vital because it engages the community, bolsters design, and improves the city—and, ultimately, our lives.
