We welcomed 2015 with a cozy gathering of the design world at our Tribeca office, and kicked off Design Trust’s 20th year transforming public space in NYC.

With more than 70 people in attendance, it was a great night for the fast growing network of passionate friends who are committed to the future of public space. Our project fellows and partners had a chance to catch up. We also met new faces and talked more about what we’re working on.

Guests enjoyed delectable small bites prepared by Eddie Burch. Not to mention the out-of-this-world tasting experience offered by our inaugural dip-off competition!

We asked our guests to vote for each dip specially created by Design Trust staff. Congrats to Kelly who took home the grand trophy among much excitement, jaws on the floor and envious stares, leaving behind a completely empty bowl of the now-infamous Buffalo Chicken Dip. I couldn’t even taste it!
